I recall saying to a friend in my primary school football team after a Saturday morning game:(17/1/59):
Blues are at home this afternoon .Do you want to come with us? Who they playing? Chesterfield. Na, Southend’ll win easily.
We lost 2-5 and their keeper-Gordon Banks-player rather well.
He was the first of an outstanding string of excellent Chesterfield keepers including Alan Stevenson,Bob Wilson and John Osborne,but best remembered as one of only 3 world class players in the 1966 World Cup winning team—a 4th Jimmy Greaves wasn’t selected,nor was Peter Thompson.
