Dr Gloom 22539 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 that banks save was quality. 'that' bobby moore tackle is massively overrated though Fuck off It was a superbly timed challenge against arguably the finest footballer this planet has ever seen (not my view I hasten to add) but still to tackle a player of Pele's ability with such precision and fairly was world class. Bobby Moore was at his peak in 1970, despite the arrest which was without doubt a disgraceful attempt at sabbotage. Shame the rest of the England squad didn't follow suit because IMO, we were a stronger force than 4 years previous. overrated. it's not that amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot it was him and not Pele - it's with us going on about the save..... And Dan - yeah, I do think it was a pretty amazing challenge - care to name a better one?

And Dan - yeah, I do think it was a pretty amazing challenge - care to name a better one? the fact that it was bobby moore at a world cup is the reason why people bang on so much about it. i personally think it is over-rated - we see tackles that are just as good frequently in the premiership. the banks save on the other hand was genuinely world class. all in my opinion of course...

Craig 6702 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Just because it was Bobby Moore at a world cup doesn't make it any less awesome of challenge. It's just that it's had greater publicity than those in the premiership. Surely by that definition though, it is other challenges which are under-rated rather than that one being over rated? Is the second goal against England in the 1986 QF over-rated because it was scored by Maradona in a World Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 2 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Banks' save was better, much less time to react due to the pace of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Banks' save was better, much less time to react due to the pace of the ball. More iconic too. Still my favourite like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
