The trouble with these type of talked about goals and saves they were in very high profile games , and watched by millions, therefore they do become over hyped .
When you watch it back , yes the Banks save was something special , Pele could not have applied any better technical ability than he did , it was both the save, and the goal attempt that made it so special,and the occasion .
Some of the saves now are just astonishing and almost expected, if you consider how the modern ball moves in the air , its lightness compared to those lumpy footballs of Pele and Banks era, and the astonishing techniques modern players apply to striking a ball , never mind the mind boggling athleticism of keepers , I'd say we are seeing those types of wonder saves weekly in the modern game .
While Etheridge has been outstanding on times this season, what about some of the saves Marshall pulled off in our other Premier League season, the home game against Tottenham springs to mind. He denied them single handedly until the last minute, some unbelievable saves.
A particular attribute of Mr Banks is that he seemed to have the amazing skill of diving for a ball and actually holding and collecting it as opposed to palming or punching it away. Even to this day, few goalkeepers seem to have this skill.
I can remember mitching off school for the afternoon to watch something like Crown Court and racing from Cartmel on the day we had our first colour telly - I was in the sixth form, so I reckon it was 1973.
Think we had our first colour telly in about 1974. We'd been to the Monico on the Saturday morning then my dad picked us up and took us to get it. First thing I remember seeing was horse racing on World of Sport. Was disappointed though the Champion the Wonder Horse and Tarzan were still in black and white.
Posh? :yikes:
I didn't say it was OUR colour telly. My old man took us over the docks and we watched it in the pub!
No, we had to wait until 1974 for ours, also a rented rediffusion and, coincidentally, we got it just before the Germany world cup tournament. I remember loads of 'mates' round, very popular I was :sherlock:
You try telling t'youngsters that today... they won't believe ya!
Surprised there's been no mention of Peter "The Cat" Bonetti. I didn't realise he made 600 appearances for Chelsea.
Schmeical (I could never spell that correctly) came from a background of playing handball didn't he?
