Edson Arantes do Nascimento Born 23 October 1940, known as Pelé, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Regarded as one of the greatest players of all time and labelled "the greatest" by FIFA he was among the most successful and popular sports figures of the 20th century.

In 1999, he was named Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee and was included in the Time list of the 100 most important people of the 20th Century. In 2000, Pelé was voted World Player of the century by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) and was one of the two joint winners of the FIFA player of the Century.

His 1,279 goals in 1,363 games, which includes friendlies, is recognised as a Guinness World Record.

Gordon Banks OBE (30 December 1937 – 12 February 2019) was an English professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, he made 679 appearances during a 20-year professional career, and won 73 caps for England, highlighted by starting every game of the nation's 1966 World Cup Victory.

Banks joined Chesterfield in March 1953, and played for their youth team in the 1956 FA Youth Cup Final.

He made his first team debut in November 1958 and was sold to Leicester City for £7,000 in July 1959. He played in four cup finals for the club, as they were beaten in the 1961 and 1963 FA Cup Finals, before winning the League Cup in 1964 and finishing as finalists in 1965. 

Despite this success, and his World Cup win in 1966, Banks was dropped by Leicester and sold on to Stoke City for £50,000 in April 1967. In the 1970 World Cup he made one of the game's great ever saves to prevent a Pele goal, but was absent due to illness as England were beaten by West Germany at the quarter-final stage.

Banks was Stoke City's goalkeeper in the 1972 League Cup win, the club's only major honour. He was still Stoke's and England's number one when a car crash in October 1972 cost him both the sight in his right eye and, eventually, his professional career. 

He played two last seasons in the United States for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers in 1977 and 1978, and despite only having vision in one eye, was NASL Goalkeeper of the Year in 1977 after posting the best defensive record in the league. He briefly entered management with Telford United but left the game in December 1980.

Banks was named FWA Footballer of the year in 1972 and was named FIFA Goalkeeper of the Year on six occasions.

The IFHHS named Banks the second-best goalkeeper of the 20th century, after Lev Yashin.
