A beautiful tribute to Gordon Banks from Pele............

I scored so many goals in my life, but many people, when they meet me, always ask me about that save. While it was indeed phenomenal, my memory of Gordon is not defined by that - it is defined by his friendship. He was a kind and warm man who gave so much to people

So I am glad he saved my header - because that act was the start of a friendship between us that I will always treasure. Whenever we met, it was always like we had never been apart.

I have great sadness in my heart today and I send condolences to the family he was so proud of.

Rest in peace, my friend. Yes, you were a goalkeeper with magic. But you were also so much more. You were a fine human being.

Is it just me or do the players from yesteryear seem so much nicer

I was talking to a Wednesday fan about the Springett brothers. He said Ron was his favourite player. When he left to join Rangers he sent a letter to Ron to say how sorry he'd left. Ron Springett took time to send him a hand written letter to thank him. What chance that happening today

Gutted to hear this sad news. I had the privilege to see them in 1989 in Australia. Bloody brilliant concert in a hotel resort. Dave And Micky sounded just like they did from the records of old. One of the best concerts I have ever seen. RIP <rose>

My daughter is in a pub in Newcastle having been watching the League Cup Final. Turns out one of her mates at Uni, who was also watching, is Gordon Banks’ granddaughter. They had a party for him in Newcastle before she returned to Stoke for the funeral. I have passed on the respect and condolences of QPR Not 606.
