Pele says goodbye to 'warm man who gave so much to people'
BBC Radio Stoke Sport
Pele has said his goodbye to Gordon Banks, describing him as a "kind and warm man who gave so much to people".
He recalled that incredible save in the 1970 World Cup when he said he was denied a certain goal by a "kind of blue phantom" and he described Banks as "a goalkeeper with magic".
He added: "I am glad he saved my header - because that act was the start of a friendship between us that I will always treasure."

Almost £500k of cannabis found in home
David Pittam
BBC News Online
A man and a woman in their 60s have been arrested after officers found 575 cannabis plants growing in a house.
Some of the plants in the Nottingham semi were up to 2m tall but if all had been mature they would have had a street value of £475,000.
A 64-year-old man and a 60-year-old woman are being questioned on suspicion of production of cannabis, police said.
They also called Western Power Distribution because the electricity was bypassed.
Man abused as boy 'still being punished'
Jeremy Ball
Social affairs correspondent, BBC East Midlands Today
A victim of historical abuse in Nottinghamshire's children's homes has told us how he was branded a "male prostitute", then wrongly jailed for sex offences.
He was only fifteen when he was caught and then persuaded to admit committing crimes against several grown men. The men had paid him for sex but he says at the time he "didn't realise [he] was being abused".
The man, who we're calling Tony, gave evidence to the child sex abuse inquiry.
He told the BBC he had also been sexually abused by an older boy at the age of 11 in his dormitory and would "cry himself to sleep".
His convictions have now been overturned, but he says he's still being punished. His records mistakenly said he served time for abusing children and that led to other unsubstantiated complaints and he is now facing restrictions around children.
A group that helps survivors of the abuse, Nottingham CSA Survivors, said he is far from alone and a significant number of children in care were prostituted.
"The abuse as a child has got no comparison to the abuse since 2010," Tony added. "And I'm questioning myself - would I be better off dead?"
