Right as far as I’m concerned the spineless wannabes in our team owe a great man a great performance this week.

A fitting send-off from the terraces is needed for the great man too.

Agreed. If they can't get up for this one then morale really is a bigger issue than we fear it already is.

Shouldn't take the death of a legend and good man to inspire a team of over paid under performers, but God they owe us all one.

I suppose it depends upon what characters we have and any affiliation they have for the fans or club.....personally, I’m not hopeful as I really believe they players don’t actually give a shit. It will the fans who make the difference and drag any positive result over the line.

I hope that this is the catalyst for Jack Butland to get back to the levels he was at during the 15/16 season when I honestly thought he could be up there in the top 10 of world goalkeepers. He seems to be an honest, decent man and can only have had positive reflections on the time he spent with one of,if not the, greatest goalkeeper to have ever lived. Jack, there is your benchmark and he will be looking down willing you on.

Definitely agreed.
Like Cardiff have given Sala a good send off.
Leicester gave their owner a good send off
So, here’s hoping we can do it tomorrow night.
Come on lads

I hate to sound like a prick, but do they care?
My money is on, do they fuck..... but we do, and as I am going tomorrow night, I will blow my voice singing the legends name. If I can speak in work on Thursday, I've done it wrong.

It occurred to me when I first heard this morning. We're talking about footballers who genuinely aren't arsed though I'm afraid. RIP great man.(God bless).

If I can speak in work on Thursday, I've done it wrong. I imagine they do particularly those who have been here for the longer times given his ongoing involvement with the club never mind the fact that he is legend. As much as we don't like them at the moment I don't believe they are monsters. I understand Jack was particularly close to him. I imagine this will have hit him in particular quite hard. |

Every other club would be impossible e to play against in these circumstances , watch us as commented yesterday show our unique capability top to bottom to make any situation worse .
Personally I think the villa game is the one to make it feel like they are playing an inexorable tide of emotion

You'd like to think they would want to do it for him, as a club legend, but that is only the case if they have any emotional attachment to him, or our club.... and I don't believe the great majority of them do. |

Some will be impacted- Jack definitely as you can see from comments coming out now about the limited time he spent with him- and some will not be to a limited degree. However if anything the reflection of what Gordon Banks meant to the club, to the fans and his humility you would hope would be an eye opener and stir some sense of pride in what and who they are playing for.. |

Something like always does. Any loss makes you realise what is important. At the end of the day its easy to forget that they were all little kids once dreaming of becoming footballers and I can't imagine they don't respect or care about this and don't hold him as a legend of the game. Just think it wouldn't go amiss if some fans could try to remember that pride in our club for at least a week and push the last few years to the back of their minds as well if I'm honest |

I almost feel bad for using it as a way of trying to inspire the current crop but if that's the sort of shithouse news that we need the so be it.
Can we please not sing "There's only one Gordon Banks". A proper rendition of "England's Number 1" maybe?

Banksy had something not enough modern players have: heart.
That's not something you learn. Not something that can be coached into you. Either you have it or you don't.
RIP big man. Proud to say you were one of us.
And for fucks sake, yes a performance worthy of Gordon is long overdue. Fingers crossed.

Why does it take the death of of a player long out of the game as a catalyst to get a performance out of our wasters? They didn't know Banksy from Adam - so to speak. I talk to my kids about Churchill and Isambard Kingdom Brunel, some of the greatest Britons in history and they look at me in a WTF type expression.

Don't forget, the current performances from our 'Premier League' players are supposedly an atonement thing - their way of putting last season's disaster to bed.
4 managers in 12 months have failed to shape them up - what are the chances of the passing of Great Gordon Banks making any difference?
If nothing else, I just wish they'd drop the lacking in confidence line? All professional sportsmen aspire to play at the highest level possible - our lot have been struggling in the Championship because their hearts aren't in it.
