As always, we on the Kop cheered Gordon to the rafters. We loved the man. He was a hero to us because of 1966 obviously, but also because he single handedly always gave his teams a chance of a shock result at Anfield through his world class performances there. Add to that the fact that he came across as a humble man and a thoroughly decent one. I was on the Kop that day, his last game before his crash the following day. It was a privelige to have seen him play. RIP Gordon Banks.

Sad day as it was his last game. A great Keeper and a Great man. A real gentleman how England need him now! England only lost 9 of the 73 games he played in!

Gordon Banks is a legend!

I was at this game with my brother. A couple of Stoke fans in the paddock. Gordon was brilliant and unlucky to beat by a deflection in the end.

This could have been a cricket score for Liverpool but for the goalkeeping heroics of the late, great Gordon Banks!

I followed Stoke all over the country in those days and I remember this game well.God I feel old! The Kop always had great respect for Gordon

Great to see the kop applaud the legend that is gordon banks,remember a time when shanks took him over to the kop and the applause he got was something special...shankley tried to sign him on many occasions I believe

What a great game of football and what a top-notch goalkeeper

What a player! However was already a great Liverpool,before his golden era,is impressive thus watching the mytical Gordon Banks

What a goal keeper ,the crash was the day after ,I was at the game in the anfield road end

I was at this match and although it isn't obvious from the TV pictures, Cally's winning goal took a massive deflection over Banks's head, but I didn't care about how it went in as long as it did. It was a brilliant season for Liverpool, winning the league, UEFA Cup and doing the double over Everton. Sadly, this was Gordon Banks's last ever match. The following day he lost his eye in a road traffic accident.

@CraigG1960 I was at this game also with my brother. Two Stoke fans in the paddock. Thanks for pointing out the deflection. I remember it well.

Marvellous match. Sweeping Liverpol moves - Rogers take note. A talented Stoke side. Banks was amazing. No falling about with his weight in the wrong place or going in the wrong direction like lots of modern keepers. A deflection was just about the only way they could get past him.

I’ve gotta say stoke fans are going to be crying tomorrow along with me. Who wouldn’t he was not only a club but obviously an England legend. R.i.p banks

Glad you enjoyed it!!

i was there in anfield rd end privilege sad to say it was banks last time

why did that crash have to happen to banks at the peak of his career too :'(

Met the guy in 03..Fantastic with my son!!!

Mr. Banks: Fearless. Aggressive. The antithesis of those awful stay at home keepers who are merely trying not to look bad, as they give up multitudes of so-called blameless goals.

gorden banks need I say more

England virtually never lost with Banksie in goal

Banks along with my hero of the era, Alex Stepney, was truly great and were quiet confident men. These days too much money, too much exposure it is a shame and I am disgusted when I see the figures they receive. It is not the players fault I know but the fault of the organisation, TV channels etc BUT to have someone kick a ball around for 100,000 a week and more and have Joe Soap earning 25,000 a year supporting that - Wrong!! Wages should be capped. Anyway enuff of my rant - thanks for viewing

CALLAGHAN!! YES!! Great footie and strong Stoke side. :-)

thanks for the comment, Happy New Year!!

How the goalies catch the ball back then, instead of all the punching they try today.

There are no great saves here but Banks showed his greatness. His command of the area and presence is amazing. Also, at 6-20 he leaps like a cat with great bravery at the pool players feet and makes him miss. Now can anybody tell me why modern goalkeepers, in the main, are just not brave anymore? Yes, they are bigger, much bigger, than old keepers but have no balls

Terry Conroy a Glentoran LEDGEND.

banks était encore le meilleur gardien de son époque (de loin). Par contre, au niveau du jeu pratiqué, je pense à liverpool, le niveau d' équipes comme ajax, voire, feyenoord était bien supérieur.

iit was the final match for Gordon Banks before the car crash that finished his career

he-he-he-he (peter griffin laugh) they run funny

A lot of people do not know this but Gordon was deliberately poisoned in Mexico in 1970. So his accident in 1972 lost us qualifying in 1974. 2 world cups lost

Think this was his last game before his car accident

You must have great memories of the man?

Referee didn't do Stoke any favours

I was in the anfield Road end for I had a dislike for stoke fans after they ambushed us at stoke the previous season though we did take the Boothen end unfortunately no stoke fans came to anfield rhat day Godder

Agree Georgie does look the worst for wear but you must remember the time that this was made, early 80's if I am right, and this style was prob the fashion!! Tony Wilson and football = bad mix, even his interview methods were shite!! Glad you enjoyed it ;-)

You all do make me laugh, I'm 48, watched and played football all my life, the good old days??, they wouldn't stand a chance in today's game, fitness or professionalism , best, law , any of them, no chance
