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!
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
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 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.
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
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.
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
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
@@parisstromatias637 I am talking generally. Do you think I'm saying all keepers in old days are small and all today are huge? If you think that you are lacking imagination. I am talking generally. When I was growing up in the 60's there was a saying ' you gotta to be crazy to be a keeper'. Do you think that applies, generally, today? But I believe that generally keepers today are not that brave. For a start, they don't have to be as they are ridiculously protected.
@@parisstromatias637 Interesting question. It appears people close to him didn't see his resignation coming. Perhaps he woke up one day and thought he'd done enough for Liverpool FC and football, so it was time to retire. What I do know is when he did retire he spent more time at Everton's training ground as I think Liverpool kept him away as they wanted Paisley to have no 'interference'. That's what I heard.
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.
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
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 ;-)
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
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
You must be having a laugh! Most players now would collapse if they played 42 league games a season or 60 total games (like Keegan did). As for professionalism lol You never heard of players going on strike or refusing to play like you do now! Also most top players now could not handle the brutal tackles suffered by Best, Pele, etc!

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.
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
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
The Kop have always had respect for goalkeepers
This could have been a cricket score for Liverpool but for the goalkeeping heroics of the late, great Gordon Banks!
What a player! However was already a great Liverpool,before his golden era,is impressive thus watching the mytical Gordon Banks
What a great game of football and what a top-notch goalkeeper
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.

What a goal keeper ,the crash was the day after ,I was at the game in the anfield road end
This was the first game I ever saw from the Kop (boy's pen b4 this). Looking back, it was a privilege to have seen this great GK play.
@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.
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
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.
why did that crash have to happen to banks at the peak of his career too :'(

Not to mention the weight of the ball in the 70s 5 POUNDS and also nobody here recognize George Best siting with the guys in the TV studio room
CALLAGHAN!! YES!! Great footie and strong Stoke side. :-)
gorden banks need I say more
England virtually never lost with Banksie in goal
They did against Brazil in 1970, Scotland 1967 regardless of those results he was a truly great goalkeeper.
There are no great saves here but Banks showed his greatness. His command of the area and presence is amazing.

What you mean today are bigger the Goalkeepers Ray Clemens Pat Jennings Harvey Lev yasin

@@martynhanson I am 60 years old too the only thing I never find out is why Bill Shankly stopped coaching Liverpool

@@martynhanson Thanks for your reply.
How the goalies catch the ball back then, instead of all the punching they try today.
thanks for the comment, Happy New Year!!

d' équipes comme ajax, voire, feyenoord était bien supérieur.
D'accord. À ce moment (début 1970), Ajax ont été bien supérieures à Liverpool, simplement parce qu'elles étaient les meilleures du monde.
Terry Conroy a Glentoran LEDGEND.
iit was the final match for Gordon Banks before the car crash that finished his career
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
he-he-he-he (peter griffin laugh) they run funny
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
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!!

They would have adapted the modern players, but players of yesteryear didn't have it easy.
@Lloyd Gittens exactly and not to mention the weight of the ball the ball today is half a kilo the old days was 5 POUNDS
Can you tell me the weight of the ball today with the ball of the 70s
