Banks dismisses Casillas claim
Posted Wednesday, June 09, 2010 by PA
Gordon Banks has hit back at Iker Casillas' "disrespectful" claim that England's goalkeepers are not up to scratch.
The Spain number one said earlier this week that David James, Rob Green and Joe Hart lacked the big-match pedigree to cut it at the World Cup. He argued that the trio's lack of Champions League experience was a "real problem" that could hinder England's chances of progression to the latter stages of the competition.
Banks, who was in goal the last time that England won the trophy in 1966, denies that is the case however, and said: "For him (Casillas) to say that is disrespectful really."
