For 10 years, Gordon Banks was not only England's number one but also the best goalkeeper in the world – perhaps the best there has ever been. He helped lead England to the legendary World Cup victory, and his iconic save from Pelé will go down in history as one of the greatest ever made. But alongside countless triumphs, there was also tragedy: just months after being named Footballer of the Year, his career was abruptly halted when a car accident left him blind in one eye. This is more than just a football story: it is the story of a man who represents everything that was admirable about the game in a golden era. A story of a genuine English hero and a moving, inside look at the best years of England's team.
