• Gordon Banks' save from Pele in 1970 will be burned into the legend of the game
• It was an astonishing feat of acrobatics for England at the World Cup in Mexico 
• Brazil's Pele thought he had scored from his downward header, and so did Banks
• He said the save was the 'greatest ever' and made them great friends for life

• Pele screamed 'Gol!' 'Goal,' thought Gordon Banks. 'Save of the century,' cried the many millions watching as the world's finest keeper disentangled himself from the side-netting and stood to receive acclamation from the greatest footballer of all time.

  'Remember the date,' remarked a sage in the Press box. June 7, 1970. Burned into the legend of the beautiful game under a blazing Mexican sun.
