Article Excerpt:
Gordon Banks, OBE, was born in Sheffield, England in 1933. He made his professional debut at the age of 17 for Chesterfield. He was 6 feet in height, or 1.83 meters. He was affectionately known as "Banks of England." Mr. Banks was noted for very quick reflexes and exemplary positional ability. According to a poll by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), Mr. Banks was named as the second best keeper after Lev Yashin. In the modern era, England has produced two of the best international goalkeepers: Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton. Ironically, one followed the other for the Three Lions.
