The Greatest Save In World Cup History – Video

Gordon Banks is better known for this one save during England’s match against Brazil in 1970, rather than winning the World Cup , is a sign of how powerful a moment it was.

It was a powerful header by Pele and defying the law of physics, Banks was able to propel himself downwards and backwards and get a hand to the ball pushing it over the bar.

The Mexican crowd ripped into applause at what they had witnessed while Pele would later say that it was the greatest save he has ever witnessed.

Here is an interesting video which i came across on Youtube. This happened in a game where Dragoslav Jevric of Maccabi Tel Aviv FC makes an unbelieveable save that resembles Banks’ save against Brazil.

Enjoy the video.
