Sir Geoff Hurst described Gordon Banks as a “superstar” on the pitch which contrasted with his self-effacing personality as footballers past and present turned out to pay their respects to the World Cup-winning goalkeeper.
The former England international died, aged 81, on February 12 and his funeral was held at Stoke Minster on Monday afternoon.
Hurst, Sir Bobby and Jack Charlton and Roger Hunt, who were in the starting XI alongside Banks as England defeated Germany 4-2 in the 1966 World Cup final, were among the mourners.
