Gordon Banks was more than just a goalkeeper-he was England's last line of defence, a World Cup winner, and the man who performed the most iconic save in football history. From the coal-smeared streets of postwar Sheffield to the sun-scorched stadiums of Mexico, One-Eyed Lion traces the breathtaking life of a working-class lad who rose to global immortality. This definitive biography charts every twist and turn of Banks's extraordinary career: his heroic performances at Leicester and Stoke, his peerless command of England's goal during the golden years, and the devastating car crash that left him blind in one eye-and yet somehow still undeterred. Whether it's the legendary save that stopped Pelé or his improbable comeback in the NASL, Banks's life reads like a triumph scripted by destiny. Told with clarity, colour, and respect, One-Eyed Lion is a vivid portrait of a man whose grace, grit, and greatness transcended sport. It's the story of a footballer, a fighter, and an enduring symbol of courage under pressure.
