Oh no. Gordon Banks, an absolute hero of mine, and countless others, has died. @Englands World Cup winner was one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and such a lovely, lovely man. #RIPGordon— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) February 12, 2019
Gordon Banks has passed away. England's only World Cup winning GK & he'd probably have won another if he'd been able to play in the QF v West Germany 1970, the year he made THAT save from Pele. 6 time FIFA World GK of the year. Winner with Stoke and Leicester. And a terrific guy.— talkSPORTDrive (@talkSPORTDrive) February 12, 2019
