Gordon Banks at AllExperts (3210 words)
Gordon Banks, OBE (born Sheffield, England, 30th December, 1937) is a former English footballer, considered by many to be one of the best goalkeepers ever to have played the game.
By 1965, Banks was indisputably the first-choice England goalkeeper.
Banks wasn't greatly tested, but it was hugely encouraging that he emerged from the group with three clean sheets from three games, a trend which continued when England beat a thuggish Argentina side 1-0 in the last eight, with Geoff Hurst scoring with a header.
