He was one serious goalkeeper! I met him once years ago in a motorway service station and like a big divvy, I went up to him and said ‘scuse me are you Gordon Banks’ he was an absolutely lovely man, very friendly and very, very humble. When we were done, I apologised for having spent the whole 20 minutes asking him about Alan Ball and Ray Wilson (I barely asked him a question about himself) and he just said, “no bother pal, you are an Evertonian, it is only natural that you would want to ask about Everton players” top, top feller, he was also very complimentary about Brain Labone, big Joe and Westy too. R.I.P Gordon, you were a class act on and off the pitch!
 

RIP Gordon lad. One of a very select few who possess a World Cup winner's medal. A final football player.
