1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Pele screamed “Gol”
Alberto and Jairzinho tricky
Banks saves heart and soul
Modestly terming it “lucky”

In the heat of Guadalajara
Chesterfield, Leicester, Stoke, FIFA
Named six times keeper of the year

Lap of honour with Bill Shankly
You’ll never walk alone Gordon Banks
