The World Cup's 'Greatest Save'

Sporting Witness

Available for over a year

In the latest in our World Cup history series, we go back to 1970 when the English goalkeeper, Gordon Banks, made what’s regarded as the greatest save in the history of the tournament. In a match against Brazil, Banks somehow dived down quickly enough to stop a powerful header from the legendary Pele. He talks to Mina Rzouki. (Photo: Gordon Banks saves from Pele.
