You are quite right. People forget just how good that Poland team actually was. The focus is nearly always on ‘The Clown,’ Norman Hunter’s mistake, and the sad downfall of Sir Alf.
Wow. I never saw Gordon Banks play. The best keepers I’ve seen live were probably Peter Shilton and Neville Southall. They were good but there weren’t Gordon Banks.
Neville Southall - blast from the past. Whodda thought we see mention of an Everton goalkeeper on FR NOT named Tim Howard??
There are some great videos I found on YouTube, they are from the series “Match of the 70s”, which goes through each year and all the big moments from each season with commentary from the players. It was a lot different back then. It’s amazing what players got away with back then without so much as a yellow card.
