Gordon Banks – The man behind the save
- talkSPORT’s special tribute to England’s greatest ever goalkeeper is a must listen
- Relive the fiery encounter with Argentina in 1966
- Find out Banks was able to play on despite losing sight in one eye
- And, just how on Earth did he make THAT save in 1970
Butland, Stoke’s current number one, will don a green jersey modelled on the top worn by Banks during his six years at the club during the 1970s.The one-off kit will carry a small message in the bottom right-hand corner, which reads: “Gordon Banks, RIP, 30/12/1937-12/02/2019.” Banks, who became a prominent figure at Stoke during his retirement, enjoyed a close friendship with Butland and acted as an inspiration for the England international.Butland told talkSPORT: Ive been fortunate enough to get to know him in the last few years. Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him will tell you what hes like he immediately lifted up the room whenever he walked in.He had a witty and funny personality but he was extremely humble and positive. He was an incredible person.
