Gordon Banks was treated poorly by the Leicester board. With Peter Shilton wanting first team football  they agreed to sell Banks to Stoke but refused to pay him money that he was due to him. Banks refused to leave and it was only when Stoke agreed to pay this money themselves that the transfer went ahead . 

Rather sad reflection on the club at the time

Action from this game has finally appeared.  Still don't know the identity of the person who has been uploading all these gems. Got a sneaking suspicion it's John Motson. Certainly someone with privileged access to BBC archives.

You might notice that there's almost no chanting from the Kop -  that really developed later in 1963 with Beatlemania. A week before this game, Please Please Me became the group's first number I. (Many sources say it only got to number 2, but in the NME chart, which at the time was the most influential, it was definitely number 1). 

We should have won the league that season, probably even a double.
