Banks save is way over rated imo.

agreed, the header is great but to make the follow up stop from the back of his net was exceptional


Just seen Jaaskelainen's today. A bit over hyped by the pundits earlier I feel

Banks save is way over rated imo.

Definitely agree with this. If it was anyone but Pele's header no-one would remember it today imo

It was a product of its time

First colour TV World cup..against Brazil....defending WC Champs...etc etc people remember it as before this they had little exposure to football on TV whereas now you can see saves of similar/better quality anywhere on TV all year long.

Still an iconic save for the reasons above though
