What can you say about Banksie? A sportsman, a gentleman and a legend to boot. Will always be remembered for the Save of the Century at Mexico 70. No scientist has yet explained how he kept out Pele's effort. The greatest player in the world hit an unstoppable header toward the corner of the net and Banks seemed to leap backwards through time and space to claw it away - like a goalkeeping Time Lord. Unbelievable. Didn't stop us losing, though...

More information:
Shilts replaced Gordon Banks at Leicester as a 17-year-old and went on to be one of the most brilliant and consistent keepers we've ever had. He played a record 125 times for England and a record 1005 league games by playing on until he was a record 137-years-old. Legend has it that he lengthened his arms by hanging from banisters, and he kept himself in peak condition by running - possibly from tabloid journalists asking awkward questions about gambling debts and married women.
