I had a spell with him at Leicester for a year or so, I played under him at Leicester and under him at England, too.He was an unbelievable goalkeeper in that era and will always be remembered for the World Cup win and also that save against Pele.I really want to pay tribute to Gordon.I always say the thing about Gordon was his positional play was superb, he always had plenty of time to save shots.He was a really nice fella, he was a gentleman. All the 66 lads were, they were all good characters.We were always good friends. We were obviously rivals at some points in our careers, but we were always very good friends and we had a tremendous respect for each other.Listen back to Peter Shiltons tribute to Gordon Banks on talkSPORT aboveRIP Gordon Banks2
