Thousands of fans joined luminaries of English soccer for a final farewell on Monday to Gordon Banks, a steelworker's son who became one of the world's greatest goalkeepers and will forever be remembered for a miraculous save against Pele.
Teammates from England's 1966 World Cup win and members of former clubs Stoke City and Leicester rode in a cortege from Stoke Stadium to a church funeral for Banks, who died at 81 last month of cancer.
"As a goalkeeper, he's one of the few superstars of our position," Leicester and Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who was a pallbearer at the funeral, said.
