Lovely interview with Gordon in the Daily Mail today. Speaking about the 50th anniversary for the world cup win, that save from Pele in 1970, his career even with one eye, possible knighthoods for all the players and something that shows what a modest and humble person he is how all the players contributed to the win through the whole competition and how he had to sell his medal to help his children. A good read even if it is the Mail.

Indeed, it was a good read.

You didn't mention the most important bit though....namely

If you ever happen to meet Pate, and he happens to be chewing gum, ON NO ACCOUNTS SHAKE HIS HAND!
(If you do, you'll never escape his gloveless clutches) ;)
