RIP Gordon Banks

Clearly you are the one in need of getting over yourself.

No matter what the topic may be you almost inevitably feel the need to take a contrary view.

As for the penalty save I suspect that I have seen it rather more than yourself.
Do you disagree that it was quite an easy penalty save?
 
He was from Sheffield and we had a minutes applause for him at Bramall Lane last night.

Fabulous goalie - no matter how many times you see that save, still unbelievable that he got near it, let alone forced it over the bar!

Minutes applause at Reading as well. Loudest minute of the whole game.

Lovely comment from Pele, that despite scoring over 1000 goals, everyone always asks him about that save. Two men with a lot of class.
 
It was basically the perfect height for a save, fairly close to the middle of the goal. It was not unbelievable.

Why do even the basics get hyped to dilute legendary status?!

Just rewatched it and happy to admit it was not quite how I recalled it.

I remembered it as being in the top right hand corner, it plainly wasn't.

In my defence I hadn't seen it for 40 odd years but did get the teams right.
