Yashin, for one. 

Shilton, too.

 

 

Sorry. Got my mind stuck on English ‘keepers.

 

Yashin without doubt. 

 

The other grainy legend, Khomich; Maier, Buffon, Zoff?

 

I think it’s Banks.

Don't disagree.  Damned few, if any, better.

It’s not just the Pele save. (I saw McCloy do something similar for Motherwell against Neil Martin of the Hibs)

 

It’s the saves he made without the need for acrobatics because of his anticipation and sureness of catch.

I always though Neil Martin would have been ideal playing alongside Colin Stein at Ibrox and I also fancied AlexEdwards as an inside man at Rangers by the way both Edwards and Banks were both bricklayers as was captain cutlass.

Handful? Who was better?

 

Shilton? Not quite.

 

Frank Swift was the legend ‘keeper when I was a wee boy but you can’t make judgements from a few seconds of grainy newsreel.

 

A chap on Talksport suggested Peter Bonetti. Fine if Haffey is the comparison but not Banks.

 

Seaman? Not as good as Shilton? 

 

Who am I missing?

Goram was better than Banks and Shilton.

I saw Banks make a save from Denis Law at Wembley when we "absolutely" trounced them 3-2 in 1967. It was brilliant. I thought it was a certain goal but Banks dived backwards and pushed it round the post.

I remember that save it was fantastic
