Gordon Banks brings to any event he attends the heartbeat of the only England World Cup Winning Side. He is a lively, bubbly and fun character.
In 1966, Banks was indisputably the first-choice England goalkeeper. He was settling into the form of his life which would last for the next seven years; agile and alert, he was frequently seen making amazing reflex saves and possessed flawless positional sense and reading of attackers' movements and instincts.
One of Gordon's most famous stories tells of how he casually said "See you Alf!" to his England boss before the team had been selected for the 1966 World Cup, only for Ramsey to reply "Will you?"
After his retirement Banks went into scouting, managed non-league side Telford United and did some work on the commercial side of football. Gordon is currently available for corporate events.
