Most will remember him for England's World Cup win or that save against Pele, and rightly so. They were examples of his brilliance. So what was so good about him? Well firstly, he had an amazing ability to read the game and his positioning was flawless. He was always in the right spot at the right time, and this helped him perform some of his great saves. He also had brilliant reflexes, that Pele save is a prime example, and was one of the best shot stoppers of that era. He was brave and willing to go in for one-on-ones, regardless of whether he got hurt, and was unbelievably determined. He never gave up and was always determined to stop the ball from going in. He was athletic and quick off his line, something that wasn't common back then. He could organise the defence very well, although with Bobby Moore in front of you there is no need, and this also helped him with his decent clean sheet tally. He was great in the air and possesed a great leap to help him save shots. He was incredibly agile and nimble, he could leap across the goal to stop shots. His goal kicks were pretty good as well, but no-one cared about that aspect of his play, as long as he could stop the shot!
