DBasia.news – England national team goalkeeper who strengthens Stoke City, Jack Butland, will give a special tribute to Gordon Banks, the former England national team keeper, who died some time ago.
Gordon Banks was the England national team goalkeeper when he won the 1966 World Cup. At that time, the event took place on his land so it felt special.
It was the only title won by the England national team to date. After that, the Three Lions’ best achievements only went to the World Cup semifinals and European Cup.
During his career, Gordon Banks had defended Stoke City. There, Banks appeared in 250 matches in various competitions with The Potters.
Incidentally, the current Stoke City goalkeeper, Jack Butland, is also from England. Butland appeared in nine matches with The Three Lions.
Jack Butland’s special jersey will be green like Gordon Banks’s. The classic shades adorn the special Stoke City uniform.
Collars and buttons add to the classic jersey’s impression. Later, there will be no logo or any writing in a special uniform to commemorate Gordon Banks.
“Gordon Banks, Hopefully Resting Quietly. 30/12/1937 – 12/02/2019,” is the only writing on the jersey, precisely located on the lower left side.
Special Gordon Banks uniforms worn by Jack Butland will be equipped with white pants. Also, socks also have the same color.
