Gordon Banks, OBE (born Sheffield, England, 30th December, 1937) is a former English footballer, considered by many to be the best goalkeeper to have played the game.
A careful student of goalkeepers during childhood, Banks played in local colliery football as a boy and was offered an apprenticeship by Chesterfield after initially going to work down a mine and then as a bricklayer on leaving school.
Having lost two FA Cup finals, Banks' attempts to be luckier with Stoke in the competition fell agonisingly short as Arsenal beat them in the semi finals of both the 1971 and 1972 competitions.
