Gordon Banks makes the
most famous save of all time. The England
goalkeeper throws himself across the entire
width of the goal to somehow push Pelé's
downward header over the crossbar while
playing against Brazil in the 1970 World Cup
Finals.
Possibly the greatest save of all time?
1970: World Cup
Brazil 1-0 England
Jalisco stadium Guadalajara, Mexico
England's last World Cup meeting with Brazil has passed into the game's annals
of legend.
Jairzinho's winning goal, Bobby Moore's masterly tackle on Pelé, Jeff Astle's
miss and
that
save from Gordon Banks marked their 1970 meeting as one of football's great
matches.
