Non QPR 18:03 - May 13 with 2017 views | kingo | Just watched a montage of Gordon Banks saves, not just the best save against Pele. What an outstanding keeper he was, he didn’t just tip them round the post he actually caught most shots at him. We had some great keepers back then, including our own Springets, Parkes and Hucker. | |

Did he ? England beat Scotland 4-3 in '66 but lost 3-2 in '67. Obviously only let in 2 in the World Cup Final | |

Non QPR on 12:06 - May 14 with 1716 views | PlanetHonneywood | In 2002 a QPR mate of mine and I, were in Guadalajara at a game. Afterwards, we blagged back in to an empty stadium and got chatting to the security guards, who promptly invited us to go on to the pitch. Whereupon I said to mate 'Phoenix from the Flames'? He, in a QPR top, went in goal. A kindly but confused security guy goes out wide right to play the role of Jarzinho. Yours truly played the rolls of both Pele and commentator. Cue David Colman.... 'Jarzinho' not quite sure of what the f..k he was supposed to be doing kicking an imaginary ball on to my noggins, duly broke down the right and sent it backstick. Which I/Pele dispatched with aplomb only for QPR in goal to yet again, pull off a wonder save and the words 'Banks, what a save' rang out around the Jalisco. Whereupon we were told, get out! | |

Ah, didn't consider that one and makes sense now. Mainly as I was a glory hunter who started going in 67. | |

Yes I was just saying that we had some great keepers back in the day. I sort of consider Seaman and Stejkal more modern day for some reason and Woods was not one of my favourites when he was at QPR. He seemed to improve after he left us. | |
