Gordon Banks Vs Pele 1970 World Cup

Pele said "I am glad he saved my header - because that was the start of a friendship between us that I will always treasure."...
What a lovely thing to say by the great man.

The pass from Carlos Alberto was Perfect, the slip, turn and cross from Jairzinho, Perfect, Pele's header, Perfect and Gordon Banks' save, Perfect. This was football perfection.

R.I.P Gordon Banks - the greatest English goalkeeper of all time - this still gives me goosebumps

[lfcizdabest]

Seven seconds of magic football. The perfect 50 yard ball inside the full back from Carlos Alberto to release Jairzinho, the touch inside to the endline and the cross on the stretch from Jairzinho (you can see the ball bouncing off the surface before he plays that cross which makes it even more impressive that he hangs it up to the back post so perfectly), the bullet downward header from Pele... and still all that is beaten by the phenomenal footwork, reaction, spring, agility, athleticism and 'handiwork' of Gordon Banks to keep it out. A beautiful moment in football history.

That pass, that run, that cross, that leap, that header and that save, iconic piece of football footage that just never grows old !

I'm Brazillian, was nine years old then. I did not understand the adults running at the streets to see the games of Brazillian team. I have just seen the last game, against Italy. After this, and have testified the completely crazy street celebrations around my neighborhood, I became interested in football. As a native from Rio, my idols were not Pele (from Sao Paulo State) or Tostao (from Minas Gerais State), but Jairzinho and the Brazllian goalkepper, Felix - not even close to the talent of Gordon Banks, now I know. But I was just a child then. In my opinion, Gordon Banks was in the same level of Sepp Maier. The only two I put in the highest level of the best goalkeepers of all times. Sometimes, I watch (again and again) the goals Pele has lost in the 70's World Cup. Many of them were really artistic masterpieces and many Brazillians of my generation use to worship these plays. Possibly, these lost goals were not so remembered if Pele has had success on them.

I was a Goalkeeper myself and Still to this day in 2019  in my view without a doubt...… THE BEST save ever made by the one and only England's No1 Gordon Banks !! a true goalkeeping role model,  God rest Banksy

[stephenpike]

RIP Gordon. One of the greatest of all time and such a humble man. He will be missed but this save lives forever

[stevemelling]

A thousand times I think it's going in, a thousand times he saves it.

A genuine legend, a genuine gentleman.

RIP Mr Gordon Banks

Beautiful beautiful save, a bullet downwards driven header by the World's best player, and a save to match by England's greatest ever goalkeeper bar none. RIP the boy from Tinsley who grew up, became a coal bagger, and then became the man to which any English born goalkeeper should aspire to be like, not just between the posts, but such a humble and respectful man off the field. God Bless you Gordon

[Forlogson]

Perfect pass, perfect cross, perfect header, perfect save. Forget Maradonna, Messi, Ronaldo, this was the most sublime ten seconds in the history of football

[xxgachacloudxx]

My favourite few seconds ever of football, World class pass by Carlos Alberto, Perfect cross by Jairzinho,
World class header from Pele, And the best World class save from the best keeper the world has ever seen.Gordon Banks.

In the early 70s, growing up as a kid playing football (we don't call it soccer then), whenever i played keeper, i would call myself Gordon Banks.
He was our hero and the keeper we wannabes.

RIP Gordon Banks.
From Malaysia.

[garymoorhouse]

Simply the best save ever by the best keeper ever only made more special by the commentary of the peerless David Coleman. Rest in peace Mr Banks your place in the pantheon of greats is assured.

[russellnewton]

Gordon was a legend, I was nine and football mad so I remember quite a few bits from this World Cup of 1970. Sweet dreams Gordon, who sadly past away today.

[luisguti]

Great run down the best Brazil, Pele header remarkable and outstanding save from Banks. The best save in the history of the World Cup

[dcf]

Pele’s reaction is priceless. He started to celebrate and then he couldn’t believe what had just happened. I got to watch Banks in the twilight of his career with the Strikers. What a keeper!

[MrChimpchoker]

Never be a better team than that Brazil side, and never be a better keeper than Gordon Banks R I P Gordon.

[richcharleston]

RIP Gordon Banks truly great goalkeeper, from a GLASGOW RANGERS fan🇬🇧💙

[ajl]

Goosebumps here too watching that and truly gutted when I heard the news. RIP to a genuine legend - even his name was heroic. It's a very sad day for football.
