Gordon Banks is a well-known football star in Britain, the originator of modern football. He is a goalkeeper, just like Yassin and Zoff, but his start is very difficult. He scored 15 in two appearances in Yorkshire and was forced to leave the team. Later success is of course the result of hard training. Gordon Banks was born in Sheffield, England on February 30th. He likes playing football since he was a child, especially playing goalkeeping. Standing in front of the door and catching a friend's ball with his hand made him feel very fulfilled. Once, he went to Millsburg to watch an amateur team play football. Because the goalkeeper of the team was not present at the beginning of the game, the manager of the Millsburg team asked him to make a guest appearance and help him keep the goal. If it weren't for this opportunity, the result of England 1966 World Cup might be very different. The absence of the goalkeeper provided Banks with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get out of the mountain. 1955, Banks was discovered by the coach of chesterfield team and invited to join the team, but he did not become a professional player, but spent his spare time training and playing in the team. The following year, the chesterfield Youth Team entered the finals of the Football Association Youth Cup and played against Manchester United led by Bobby Charlton. Amid the cheers of 32,000 fans at Old Trafford, Banks hit a low block and finally beat his opponent 4-3. 1963 In April, Banks made his first appearance for the national team against Scotland at Wembley Stadium. The Scottish team showed no mercy to Banks, and jim baxter scored twice to beat the English team. Ramsey, who just coached the national team, didn't blame Banks and let him play in Brazil, a South American powerhouse, a few weeks later. In the game, Banks played bravely, but was forced to 1: 1 by the opponent. He was severely criticized by his coach and boss. Banks felt aggrieved because Brazil scored a free kick 30 meters away. After the ball was kicked out, it flew directly to the left of Banks. He dived to save the ball. As a result, the ball turned to his right as if it were remotely controlled. Banks, who lost his center of gravity, could only watch football enter the net. He said it was the most unforgettable goal in his life, and no goalkeeper in the world could keep it. However, Banks played for the national team for the third time and won 4-2 against the influential Czech team. Since then, the gate guarded by the bank is not easy to break through. He made 73 appearances for the national team and conceded only 9 goals, including 5 goals in the first 4 games. 1966 The World Cup was held in England. In the face of Charlton, Best and other powerful offensives, opponents were tired of defense, and occasionally several scoring opportunities were disintegrated by Banks, and England did not lose a goal and entered the semi-finals. In the semi-final against Portugal, Banks conceded a goal, which was scored by Sebbio. Afterwards, Banks was very remorseful. He wrote in his autobiography: "If I had to choose a classic from 73 games played for England, I would choose this game against Portugal. I will never forget this game. " Although England reached the final with Charlton's two goals, Banks was deeply worried about the penalty: "At that stage, every goal was like a knife stuck in my ribs." In the final against West Germany, Banks was calm, saved the defeat several times, and saved the goal that West Germany must score, but he didn't expect that at the end of the 90-minute game, West Germany tied the score at 2: 2. In overtime, Hurst of England won the "third goal" with the help of the referee. Later, Hurst showed great strength and scored the fourth goal, and England won the Rimet Cup. 65438-0970 Mexico World Cup England vs Brazil. Before the game, people called this game a contest between Bailey and Moore. After the game, people renamed it the struggle between Bailey and Banks. Before the game, head coach Ramsey called Banks aside and told him that Buckingham Palace wanted to award him the Imperial Medal of England, hoping that he would do well in this game against Brazil. Banks lived up to expectations and staged the most wonderful save in football history. In the game, a winger of Brazil picked up the ball and passed it to Banks in the far post. Bailey flew out, jumped high and slammed the lion's head. The ball was very cunning and went straight into the net. Bailey shouted confidently, "Yes". Just then, Banks dived to the right. Just as the football was about to cross the goal line, he held out his hands to keep the ball out of the door. The ball flew over the beam. Bailey couldn't believe his eyes. Later, Bailey admitted that it was the most beautiful save of his life. Judging from the photos taken by sports reporters, Banks' diving action at that time was very beautiful, with his whole body extending parallel to the ground and his hands reaching out to the football like eagle's claws, which firmly blocked it out. This photo has become an invaluable treasure of FIFA and can be seen in various brochures. It represents the wisdom and courage, beauty and skill of football. After the game, Bobby Moore and Bailey exchanged jerseys and hugged each other, while Banks quietly returned to the locker room, still thinking about the save. England beat the Czech team by 1: 0, and entered the final of 1/4 to face the west Germany team. Coach Ramsey had to play peter bonetti because Banks vomited and felt sick the night before the game. After leading 2-0, the coach replaced Charlton and hoped that he would rest and maintain his strength for the semi-final. I didn't expect the West Germany team to stubbornly organize the attack, equalize the score and finally beat England. People began to accuse the bank, and some even said that he took bribes. Banks has a heavy ideological burden. 1972, banks helped stoke club win the first league title in history and was elected the best player in England in the same year. But something unfortunate happened. One day five months later, a car accident ended Banks' football career. Banks * * * played 5 10 league games, including Stoke Club 194 games. During his stay at Stoke, he made 36 appearances for the national team, one less than when he was in Leicester. Banks is quite critical of the current football match. When he plays football, no one wants to lose the ball, but after losing it, the whole team will try their best to get the score back. Nowadays, the atmosphere has changed. Before you play, you should look at the appearance fee and how much bonus you win. Football is about money. Banks knew that football was a sport when he played football, but now football has become a sport with a strong commercial flavor.
