    One of the true legends of English football. RIP. 
    Apparently he trained harder than practically any other keeper at that time. Used to finish training covered in bruises. 
  • RIP Banksy.........!
    That save from Pele..........!
  • All time great.  RIP
  • A hero of my youth and a fantastic keeper.

    Remember when a boy at my school lost an eye and Gordon wrote to him as he too had lost an eye.

    RIP
  • Wonderful keeper.
    We would have won the WC twice if he had been well in Mexico.
  • RIP.
    A genuine great.
  • I doubt there’s a single football fan in the world over the age of 30 that doesn’t know of him. RIP
  • Rest in peace
    Sad day today

    I was Gordon Banks so many times when i was little and not even Pele could beat me

  • Very sad news. RIP.
  • RIP - a true legend
  • RIP, a real legend of the game and indeed of English sport
  • RIP Gordon...

    One of the greatest ever Goalkeepers in the game!!
  • RIP....England have been blessed with some great keepers but doubt any were as good as Gordon.
  • He was the gold standard for goalkeepers.
  • Why was he never knighted?

    Why weren’t they all?

    Greaters sporting achievement, and when you look at some that all these honours it just seems wrong.

    Great player and a credit to the whole of football. RIP Mr Banks. Thanks for the memories.
  • What a choker. RIP Gordon Banks. One of my early heroes and a true gentleman.

  • Sad news, a great man and goal keeper. It was sad enough when he lost the sight in one eye to put an end to a great caree. I remeber  many times when watching england football on the TV  as child  I would leap up after thinking no way could he pull off a save and he did, many more times than most keepers would, My condolences to his family.
  • The Old Man would make a point of taking me as a nipper every time Chelsea faced Banks because he was "worth paying to see on his own." If he hadn't lost an eye in a car crash he would have undoubtedly gone on to be the greatest goalkeeper ever.
  • Legend RIP Banksey....
  • RIP Gordon. Probably made the best ever save.
  • Although he was a good age, this still feels like a shock, he was such a legend when I first got into football.  

    RIP
