You can probably count the "mistakes" Banks made on one hand, but these two almost ended in a nightmare scenario. See about 1:25 through 2:15 in the video. I've never actually any of that match before. Few things: The white kit looked fantastic. Why weren't the keepers wearing gloves? Wasn't this a common thing for them to wear at this stage? Greenhoff looked unreal player. That through ball and also the touch when he went one on one. Gloves back then were rarely worn by keepers, the balls were heavy too, on the odd occasion the gloves at the time were like a thin material, basically worked okay palming a slippy ball away. Nowadays keepers gloves are like Kenny Everret hands (some pups may not get that) even though the footies are like balloons! Sign of the times. The white kit was ace, I also liked the white with the red and black diagonal stripe, they ought to bring that back. As for Jimmy G, you must have seen old posters like myself fawning over his quality, its not over hyped believe me.

Correction failed to dive out of the way of the penalty Waited and was able to drop to his left actually. A poor penalty but Butland resisted for once diving early to his right, Can’t believe he didn’t flop to the right

I can remember the gloves in that era,they were very thin and the palm area had a rubbery pimply covering similar to what was on table tennis bats.Absolutely nothing like the monstrous padded things they wear today.

It’s a myth that balls were heavier back in the day. The starting match weight for a ball was 13-15ozs whereas now the weight has to be 14-16ozs. Of course the early materials meant that the ball gained weight on a wet pitch but modern synthetic balls means that they more or less maintain the same weight. Regarding keepers gloves before the rubbery pimply material you describe, gloves were made of tightly meshed string material and keepers would only wear them when the ball was wet and often carried several pairs onto the pitch because they lost their grip as they became wet.

Jack Butland "allowed us to go home with the point" said Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira after his keeper's fine performance helped them draw 1-1 with Brighton.
Butland saved a penalty from Pascal Gross and made several key saves in the stalemate at the Amex Stadium.
It comes less than a week after Butland's howler gifted Benik Afobe a goal for Millwall in Palace's 2-1 FA Cup victory.
"Jack Butland was the man of the match, I am delighted for him. He is working hard every single day," said Vieira.
"He needed a chance and he was at his best today. He showed all his potential. He deserved it for the way he has been working and waiting."www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59903993

He's a nice bloke who the wheels fell off. If he can turn it around he's got years left, we saw that last week with Bego.

If he can turn it around he's got years left, we saw that last week with Bego. No doubt and I’ve no ill will towards the bloke. But we got his market value mostly when he left as, as you say the wheels properly fell off. Last week was final knockings Stoke Butland, this week was almost prime Stoke Butland. Good luck to him but I’ll be honest I’m glad he’s not having a mad one at Stoke, not that his replacements have been much better recently!

However he was wearing gloves in the 1970 World Cup (a year earlier) when he made what most people consider the greatest save of all time. In 1966 most people rated Banks number two behind the Russian Lev Yasmin. Banks was hailed as the greatest goalkeeper of all time in no small measure to this save. Enjoy

Enjoy I rank that as the 2nd best save ever behind him saving the Geoff Hurst penalty, so Gordon has number 1 and 2 of all time in my unbiased view.

Re: goalie gloves, i was amazed at Christmas when i picked up my nephew's new keeper gloves he'd had as a pressie. They're weird as they feel normal to the touch but they actually stick to anything that's rubber or plastic. Extra grip is one thing but making them sticky is just cheating imo Seriously though, it's amazing how far they've come over the years from the early 80s when i was a kid. Fuck, i'm getting old!

The balls were indeed heavier in wet weather. The material absorbed water. When I was a kid, anyone who owned a casey ( leather ball for the kids on here), also had to try and dry it out after a game. Tins of dubbin, a bit like shoe polish, were rubbed into the ball leather to try and keep water out.

Ive not seen it, but it must have been a shite penalty if he’s saved it! Did he not do his usual flop and fall to one side?

Would often leave lace shaped bruise if you headed it in the wrong place.

Watched the MOTD highlights on the Brighton v Palace game and Jonathon Pearce had a full on love in for Butland with what were everyday saves that could be expected of a keeper. The penalty was just to his left and he happened to flop that way. I really would like to see Butland get back to his high point, but all of the scruffiness and stuff going on in the Palace defence could easily have resulted in another couple of conceded goals on any other day.

Gordon Banks endorsed goalie gloves made by the company Coffer.
They didn't even have the pimply bits, just thin green cotton 'gardening' gloves which had no grip whatsoever...they were useless!!!
