Just read the news that he's passed away aged 81 years.
Gordon Banks was one of the greatest goalkeepers of his or any other generation and he will forever be remembered for his heroic part in England’s triumphant 1966 World Cup campaign that culminated in the famous 4-2 victory over West Germany at Wembley in the final.

Sadly, the heroes of 1966 are passing away, one by one. Gordon Banks was an outstanding goalkeeper and a fine gentleman from before the "primary donna" age of footballers. He played a leading role in England'squad 1966 campaign, but don't forget also that "save of the century" from Pele in 1970.
Gordon Banks RIP.

A brilliant sportsman, lynch pin of a very good team. RIP the original Banksy!
