I used to love see watch him. Sometimes his dives seemed theatrical but maybe it's just my memory playing tricks. It's strange but nowadays, he might have had a chance as one of the three or four main keepers (plus there seem to be more injuries today than in the 70s!). Banks was great though. And I have to say I love watching that save and never tire of it. Was it Bobby Moore who made that elegant tackle in the same game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornish sam 1,031 Posted June 7, 2020 Whilst this is a great save I always struggle with the claims for this being 'The Greatest Save Ever'â„¢. Perhaps it's just the camera work doesn't do it justice, but I've seen other saves that I would rank as highly... Is it just that this was against Pele? He would obviously say that it was a save against him that was the greatest ever... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Jeff Astle missed an absolute sitter. I may be looking back through rose tinted glasses but it was a brilliant tournament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Payback by the Germans, that lasted at least another 40 years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
