Stoke City: Club legends Herod and Banks meet for first time
by Martin Spinks

Incredibly, despite nearly a century's service between them, these two goalkeeping greats had never even bumped into each other over the years.
Gordon, despite winning everything in the game and meeting hundreds of household names, was genuinely thrilled to have met 85-year-old Dennis at long last.
"It's fabulous," he exclaimed. "When I first arrived at Stoke City, the older players all spoke about Dennis."
