I've only just realised how MASSIVELY overrated that Banks save from Pele was

[Sir C]

If you watch it, the ball bounces up from the ground and arrives on the goal line at a very comfortable height for him to claw it away.

It only caught the attention because on first glance it looked like he miraculously scooped it up from the ground and over the bar, but he could just as well have palmed it to the side which would have been equally effective but not as eye-catching.

It would actually have been a massive clanger had he let it in.

I think he said himself that the bounce put the ball at a reachable height.

Was that the one he scooped once it had actually gone past him in the cup semi?

That was my fave I can remember.

That's the one, also like it even more since I realised that it's my brother-in-law who misses the follow up

Are you serious?

I'll shall have to look. I don't even remember the follow up, I think my mind was still trying to compute how a ball that had pased the keeper hadn't gone into the net.

So who is this brother in law no.11 who lashes it high and wide.

I don't mean any ill towards the national hero who died today but I do think Spunky's save is better. Though he only saved from a Moose-fücker. Banks saved from Pele.

But dear God, we were so lucky to have Spunky for all that time, weren't we?

We also had a manager who could spot a decent German keeper when we needed to replace an all time legend. :cough:
