 The
Banks of England £10 note and the Britannia Appeal
Welcome to BanksofEngland.org the home of
the Gordon Banks Monument Appeal 2008.
Gordon
Banks is still considered one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of
soccer.
In 1966 he helped England win the World
Cup and in 1970 he created one of the great iconic moments
in World Cup history with ‘That Save’
from Pelé. But his positive influence extended beyond
the football field, as you will learn.
This website is about celebrating the life and career of
Gordon Banks.A spectacular monument is already in progress and Pelé and
Archbishop Desmond Tutu have agreed to unveil it on 12 July
2008.

There will also be a charity football game that will

Finals and which also aims to turn 'That Save' into saving
lives in Africa. more
