Gordon Banks was more than just a goalkeeper. He was a symbol of English football, a World Cup winner, and the man responsible for one of the most iconic saves in football history. But how did this football legend meet his tragic end? What happened to him in his last days that made the football world so sad? Let’s find out in this due tribute to our star.
Gordon Banks, born on December 30, 1937, in Abbeydale, Sheffield grew up to become a top footballer unknowingly.
Imagine a sunny day in Sheffield, with the streets full of energy and excitement. Here, young Gordon Banks, with a cheeky grin, would dart through the alleyways, his bare feet hitting the pavement and sometimes playing football occasionally. Little did he know, this dream would come true, and he would become a legend in football history.

Burnley fan here, Gordon Banks was both a gentleman and in my book the world’s best goal keeper. That save against Pele is to the this day the finest save I have ever seen. Got bless Gordon

I had the pleasure of meeting Gordon about a year before he died, we met at a golf course in Spain just before tee off time he was such a pleasant person to talk with as we reminisced about the World Cup final, one of the true greats

Liverpool fan here. My first league game at Anfield was to see Liverpool play Stoke City on 21st October 1972. 24 hours later, Gordon Banks had his car crash, and never played a professional game again.

I saw him make a save against my team. It was like watching a man fly. We started to celebrate a goal only for Banksy to stop our celebrations. The word legend is used too often in football, but in his case wholly justified

I saw his debut for Chesterfield at Colchester in the FA Cup Nov 1957. The regular goalkeeper Ron Powell was due to make his 200th appearance but was injured so Gordon took over and played every game before being sold to Leicester later that season

My memory of Gordon was he was good for a laugh. Many years ago Palace played Leicester in a mid week friendly. There was a lot of banter from us school kids (1960's) After one exchange he dropped his shorts and wriggled his backside at us. All those behind the goal fell about laughing.
