That save - better footage

Happened across this earlier showing Gordon Banks' save in Mexico.

Much better resolution and wider angle than I have seen before and really shows how much ground Banks made-up to get across his goal after the cross.

Don't know why they always show the grainy narrow-angle footage on the TV?

Not a bad cross from Jairzinho either.

I remember the 1970 world cup well and was mortified when West Germany beat us after we were 2 up. We should never have taken Bobby Charlton off.

Banks was so good that we expected saves like that, I wish we had someone as good now.

Good video clip Scouse, thanks.

Not a wum but I genuinely do believe that Seaman's save against Sheffield Utd was better. Because it wasnt Pele in a world cup is why it's not as celebrated.
