Calling All Stoke Fans - Pele's on his wayFull story - here
What a coup for the club and fitting that Pele should unveil a statue to the keeper who denied him at the 1970 World Cup with possibly the best save that the game has ever seen.

This is really cool. Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke or better keeper. What a fantastic save it was.

We have a number of Clayheads past and present on DL.
Will any of you be popping in to see the great man reveal the great man?

I wonder if Di or Mav will be interested in this?
Its a little out my way im afraid but i love Bobby Moore's comments when this save was made he retorted to Banks ' Christ Banksie your getting old you used to keep hold of them'. Thats why he was famously smiling before the corner was taken.

In the past Stoke have been blessed with some great players, two of which were Sir Stanley Matthews and Gordon Banks, The save made from Pele by Banks was just out of this world!
How fitting that Pele of all people is going to do the unveiling.
