Banks bucks the job up v Wednesday

One of the clubs biggest mistakes in the 60’s was letting the Doog go. He was a bloody good striker as he showed for years afterwards at Wolves. Used to live opposite the Anstey Nomads ground where I’d often see him practicing on my way home to Cropston

The Doog story says a lot about how our club was run in those days. When he came to us from the Posh, an old Third Division Club, and us in the top half of the First, the Doog had to take a pay cut.
 
The day he left I was devastated, he was the first real star quality outfield player I saw play for us. At the time seeing him score the winner in an away FA Cup game v Villa was the high point of my time as a supporter.
 
Gordon Banks was my hero but he did make mistakes including the 63 Cup Final and a couple of England Scotland games. He did lose his England place a few times to the likes of Waiters, Bonetti and Springett but none of them were felt to be as good. Goalies in those days felt it was their job to deal with crosses. Nowadays they tend to leave it to defenders.

Don’t we know it! Shame the defenders don’t either
 
Talking about keepers..... Klopp opens his gob and falls deeply in the mire his keeper let the ball go through his hands instead of punching it
