Happy Birthday to the legendary Gordon Banks! The man whose hands were safer than a bank vault, and whose saves were more spectacular than fireworks on New Year's Eve. Your iconic save against Pelé in 1970 still defies gravity—rumor has it NASA studied footage of that leap to improve rocket launches!From Wembley glory in '66 to countless breathtaking dives, you've inspired generations of goalkeepers who dream of matching your brilliance (and agility!). May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and fewer surprises than facing Brazil's forwards. Cheers to you, Gordon—the keeper who made miracles look easy!
