R.I.P Gordon Banks

[Vienna_70]

R.I.P. Gordon. Did he save a penalty of Hurst in the league cup semi final. Then went on to win the cup ?

I’m sure you’re right, now that you mention it.

I remember my older cousin saying that it was a real rarity for a 'keeper to save a penalty.

I,ve stopped being lazy in the semi Banks saved a Hurst pen that got Stoke to the final where they beat Chelsea 2 - 1.

A Gentleman who said Bert Trautman was his hero. Great memory of him on our First colour tv 1970 what a save!!!!

You're a month younger than me, sonny.

You never saw Bert in our goals?
;-)

Living out here in the sticks of mid Cheshire I didn`t see my first City game until 1964,so no never saw Bert.Mind you some fuckers will say I did see Frank Swift.

Yer fuckin' heretic, oakie! Yer must have seen Bert Trautmann! That save from Pele that Banks made and which has been lauded ever since, let me tell yer Trautmann would have caught it, one-handed!

Hi mate.Nope never saw the "big man" unfortunately.1964 season was my first trip to Maine Road. Stevensons "Rocket" used to come our way yer know. ;)

Mrs Ewing hadn't seen that save. She's seen it ten times now!
