I despise everything to do with England and it's football and yet I picked an english goal keeper. This has to tell you something about the quality of Gordon Banks.
My pick would be either Southall or Schmeichel though.

Schu had off days... Banks really never did until after his car accident

Originally posted by phil3000Couldn't remember the year, it's true. I was brought up on soccer and cricket and rugby. Depended on where I lived. Oldham Atheletic, Stockport, Burnley and Watford. Hertfordshire in the minor counties. Essex in 1st class cricket. London Irish and Wasps (my PE teacher played for them) in the rugby. Didn't care for League when I was kid. Took to it a bit when I lived in Australia. I am sorry you feel the personal animosity that you seem to.

My quip about "THAT one famous clip" is a reference that almost all fellow Britons of my age would understand. It meant no disrespect to Banks. Like just about every England supporter of my generation, he gets onto my top 5 list without a thought.
