The other grainy legend, Khomich; Maier, Buffon, Zoff? I think it’s Banks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 5,106 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It’s not just the Pele save. (I saw McCloy do something similar for Motherwell against Neil Martin of the Hibs) It’s the saves he made without the need for acrobatics because of his anticipation and sureness of catch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always though Neil Martin would have been ideal playing alongside Colin Stein at Ibrox and I also fancied AlexEdwards as an inside man at Rangers by the way both Edwards and Banks were both bricklayers as was captain cutlass. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Swift was the legend ‘keeper when I was a wee boy but you can’t make judgements from a few seconds of grainy newsreel. A chap on Talksport suggested Peter Bonetti. Fine if Haffey is the comparison but not Banks. Seaman? Not as good as Shilton? Who am I missing? Goram was better than Banks and Shilton. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

les186 271 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I saw Banks make a save from Denis Law at Wembley when we "absolutely" trounced them 3-2 in 1967. It was brilliant. I thought it was a certain goal but Banks dived backwards and pushed it round the post. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
