Wikipedia - Banks o' Dee F.C.

Banks o' Dee Football Club is a Scottish football club from the city of Aberdeen that plays in the Scottish Highland Football League.

Their home ground is Spain Park, by the banks of the River Dee. In 2009, Banks o' Dee were among four clubs to apply for membership of the Highland Football League. Their application was unsuccessful. Notwithstanding their junior status, in 2014 the club became a full member of the Scottish Football Association and therefore competes in the Scottish Cup. In 2022, they were promoted from the SJFA North Superleague to the Highland Football League.

History

On 27 September 2008, they made their Scottish Cup debut by trouncing Fort William 10–0 in the first round. They went out in the second round after a 5–1 defeat by Inverurie Loco Works on 27 October 2008.

Banks o' Dee were in the final of the Aberdeenshire Shield after demolishing Highland League side Huntly 6–1 at Spain Park in the semi-final on 28 October 2008. This was the first time that Banks o' Dee have ever made it to a Highland football league final. Previous to the semi-final Banks o' Dee beat Buckie Thistle 3–1 at Spain Park. They lost 2–0 in the final against Cove Rangers.

In the first round, Banks o' Dee were drawn away to Highland League club Rothes, winning 5–1 on 26 September 2009. In the second round, the club were defeated 3–0 at home by Montrose of the Scottish Football League Third Division.

Having previously qualified for the Scottish Cup by virtue of winning the North Region Superleague, in 2014 Banks o' Dee became a full licensed member of the Scottish Football Association and therefore automatically qualified for the competition. They were once again drawn away to Rothes in the first round, and won 4–0. Their second round fixture was away to reigning Highland League champions Brora Rangers, where they were knocked out by a score of 5–0.

On 12 April 2017 the BBC reported that a football belonging to the under-19 team had washed ashore on a small island north of Tromsø, Norway over 1,000 miles away.

In 2019 the club was invited to apply for the Highland Football League, to replace Cove Rangers who had been promoted to Scottish League Two, but declined and remained in the SJFA North Superleague.

In 2022 the club won promotion to the Highland Football League. They were due to play Fort William, who had finished bottom of the Highland Football League, in a two-leg play-off. However the day before the scheduled first leg, Fort William withdrew due to player eligibility rules. As a result, Banks o' Dee were promoted and Fort William were relegated.

Бэнкс (полное имя — Гордон Бэнкс, англ. Gordon Banks; 30 декабря 1937, Шеффилд — 12 февраля 2019, Сток-он-Трент) — английский футболист, вратарь. Один из лучших вратарей в истории футбола, единственный голкипер, награждённый орденом Британской империи.

Несмотря на невысокий для вратаря рост (180 см) и относительно небольшой вес (80 кг), Бэнкс обладал великолепным прыжком, большой реакцией и по-кошачьи мягкими движениями. В числе его главных достоинств была уверенность в себе, которая никогда его не покидала, вне зависимости от ситуации на поле. Он совершал порой невероятные спасения, бросаясь под ноги сопернику или выпрыгивая до предела и доставая мяч из «девятки», чем вызывал восторг не только своих болельщиков, но и соперников и даже нейтральных зрителей.

Всю свою карьеру провёл в Англии, выступая за «Честерфилд» (1955—1959), «Лестер Сити» (1959—1967), «Сток Сити» (1967—1972), «Кливленд Стоукмен» (1977—1978) и «Форт-Лодердейл Страйкерс» (1978—1980).

В составе сборной Англии провёл 73 матча (1963—1972), участвовал в четырёх чемпионатах мира. На чемпионате мира 1966 года стал чемпионом мира, признаётся одним из лучших вратарей мировых первенств всех времён. В 1970 году признан лучшим футболистом года в Европе, стал вторым вратарём в истории, удостоившимся этого звания.

В 2002 году включён в список «100 легенд футбола» ФИФА.

После окончания карьеры работал тренером вратарей в «Сток Сити» и сборной Англии. В 1981 году признан ФИФА лучшим вратарём XX века. Скончался в Сток-он-Тренте в возрасте 81 года.
