As the magnificent Pele superbly puts it "Rest in peace, my friend. You were a goalkeeper with magic. But you were also so much more. You were a fine human being."

And I treasure being treated to visit the packed-out game at Craven Cottage, London (with my electrical engineer Dad, Douglas, and his de Haviland colleague Dickie Hirst and his old Dad, Reg) to see Banks play in the early 1960s for Leicester v Fulham.

Thanks for the message, Alan.
