	Merseyside Potters - Gordon Banks
		Bank's return to football and the first steps to glory was indeed pure chance, having gone to watch a local team Millspaugh play, he was asked to play when the Millspaugh keeper failed to appear.
		Banks though was beginning to attract the attention of several league clubs and joined Leicester City for £7,000 in May 1959.In his second season at the club he helped Leicester reach the FA Cup final, but lost to Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley, as Spurs went on to complete the league and Cup double.
		Bank's fiftieth cap came in the 4-1 victory against the Old enemy Scotland at Wembley in May 1969,though sadly whilst away preparing for his next cap against Mexico in England's South American tour, he learnt of his father's death and returned to England for the funeral, though later rejoined the tour.

		Gordon Banks would take the No 1 shirt in many people's all-time world's best XI, but as told in Banksy: My Autobiography, the "cat" who had even Pele shaking his head in admiration, struggled against illness and accident during his career, and found the going tough once he'd hung up his gloves.
		As Banks tells it, goalkeeping was a different business too--no gloves, no Kevlar-reinforced elbow pads, half the domestic season played in ankle deep mud, and very little official protection from the marauding centre forwards who prided themselves on serving the keeper a full mid-air body check early in a game.
		Happier times were to follow, notably as a member of the Pools Panel, but this part of the Banks' story, including his decision to sell off his 1966 winner's medal and memorabilia, is largely glossed over--an absence that is a poignant counterpoint to his reflections on the glory years.

		One of the greatest goalkeepers ever, Banks was at the height of his powers in 1966.
		Four years later Banks distinguished himself yet again with one of the most famous saves in soccer history, somehow managing to scramble across his goal and flick Pele's seemingly perfect header over the bar.
		But Banks couldn't prevent a 1-0 defeat against Brazil, and his late injury-forced withdrawal from England's quarterfinal with West Germany arguably cost the defending champion its title, as the Germans battled back from 2-0 down to win 3-2.
