Gordon Banks: Pele ka header rokne wala goalkeeper

Gordon Banks (Gordon Banks) England ke goalkeeper the jinhon ne 1966 mein England ko uska wahid World Cup jeetne mein madad di. Magar un ki sab se barhi shohrat 1970 ke World Cup ka woh aik lamha hai jab unhon ne Brazil ke Pele ka header, jo yaqeeni goal lag raha tha, rok liya. FIFA ise World Cup ki tareekh ke sab se mashhoor bachao mein shumar karta hai¹. England ke liye unhon ne 73 match khele aur chhe bar FIFA ki taraf se saal ke behtareen goalkeeper qarar paye².

FIFA ke mutabiq atharah baras ki umar mein woh abhi memar (eentein lagane wale) ka kaam kar rahe the, aur taqriban baees baras ki umar mein unhon ne aala division mein pehla match khela¹. Un ka peshawarana career Chesterfield (Chesterfield) se shuru hua⁴.

1967 mein woh Stoke City (Stoke City) chale gaye, jahan 1972 mein Chelsea ko 2-1 se hara kar unhon ne dobara League Cup jeeta³. Isi saal England ke Football sahafiyon ne unhein saal ka behtareen footballer chuna⁴. FIFA ke mutabiq Leicester aur Stoke ke liye unhon ne majmui taur par chhe sau se zyada match khele¹.

October 1972 mein aik car haadse mein un ki aik aankh ki beenai chali gayi, aur woh phir kabhi aala satah ka Football na khel sake¹³. Is ke bawajood 1977 mein woh America ki North American Soccer League mein Fort Lauderdale Strikers ke liye khele, aur 26 matchon mein sirf 29 goal kha kar league ke behtareen goalkeeper qarar paye⁴.

International career

Wembley mein final mein England ne Maghribi Germany ko hara kar World Cup jeeta¹.

1970 ka World Cup Mexico mein hua. Group match mein Guadalajara (Guadalajara) mein England ka muqabla Brazil se tha. Daen kinare se Jairzinho ke cross par Pele ne zor se gend ko neeche, goal ke kone ki taraf header kiya. Banks puri lambai mein dive kar ke gend ko cross bar ke upar se bahar dhakelne mein kamyab ho gaye. Pele ne baad mein kaha: "Header karte hi mujhe yaqeen tha ke yeh goal ho chuka hai". Brazil yeh match 1-0 se jeet gaya⁴. Banks khud kehte the ke log unhein World Cup jeetne ke liye nahin, "is bachao ke liye" yaad rakhenge¹.

1972 tak woh England ke goalkeeper rahe⁴.

Khel ka andaz

Banks apni jagah ke durust intikhab, phurti aur mustaqil mizaji ke liye mashhoor the¹⁴. 1966 ki team ke sathi Bobby Charlton ne kaha ke woh "behtareen goalkeeper the, bila shubah England ke sab se achhe goalkeeperon mein se aik", aur yeh ke unhein aaj tak samajh nahin aaya ke Banks ne Pele ka header kaise roka².
