This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Welcome to another edition of Ali La Rouge with regular guest John Nicholson and Steve Monaghan

and we'll soon be joined by Dan from the echo who's just finishing off his

Hillsburg coverage for the day. We've had some bad news over the last week.

Ian Ross, Liverpool player, one of Shankly's team, passed away last week, 69 senior appearances, a bit of a utility

player famous for his European First Cup clash with Bayern Munich when he was

allegedly marked Frank Beckerbar out

of the game in 1971. And then sadly the news of Gordon Banks, it was a massive cop favourite. Shankly actually did try and buy

him I think just after the World Cup. But in the end he moved to Stoke City, but Leicester will Liverpool's bogey team in the 60s and

it's probably a lot of it was down to Gordon Banks, a magnificent goalkeeper.

He made 293 appearances for Leicester and 194 for Stoke City and

and tragically really he lost his he played against Liverpool in

October 72 Liverpool won that game 2-1 with two magnificent goals if you look up on YouTube.

But the day after he was going for treatment, I think in Stoke and he was involving a car

crash and lost the sight in one eye, which basically curtailed his career.

He did go on to play for Fort Lauderdale in the States I think a few matches but

basically he'd lost his vision in one eye so sadly his career came to an end.

73 appearances for England and no one forget allegedly the greatest save ever and

looking back on it you know you've got to I think you've got to agree it was

unbelievable save wasn't it? John. Yeah brilliant, brilliant savor. I do remember watching

that World Cup at the time in Black and White.

17? You're not over., I remember that black and white.
