Roy Hodsgon Pays Tribute to Gordon Banks

Amongst the talk of Crystal Palace's FA Cup clash with Doncaster Rovers this Sunday, Eagles manager Roy Hodgson took a moment to pay tribute to former England goalkeeper Gordon Banks, who passed away on Tuesday.

In his pre-match press conference today, Hodgson reflected on the shot-stopper's life and impact on the game, offering up his memories on both Banks' career and personality.

He said: "My memories of him are of the wonderful games he played, in particular for England. They’re the major memories. Like many else, [I remember] the World Cup where he found himself against Pele making what many people describe as 'the save of the century’.
