In Memoriam 2019

As 2019 comes to an end, we here at Telly Visions would like to pause to remember some of the celebrities we have lost over the past twelve months.

These losses have touched the fields of television, film, literature, music and sports. You may not be familiar every one on the list, but each was appreciated by the British public for the years of entertainment, thrills and enlightenment they provided. They will continue to live on in our memories through the legacies they left behind.

Gordon Banks

Age: 81

Occupation: Professional Footballer

Claim to fame: Widely regarded as one of the finest players from any era, Banks was goalkeeper for the World Cup winning England team in 1966. He also appeared in the 1970 World Cup finals where he was responsible for what is often considered “the greatest save ever made.”

Honors: In 1970, Gordon received an OBE for services to Association Football. Banks was an Inaugural Inductee to the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002 and in 2006 was the first 'legend' to be inducted into a new Walk of Fame in his hometown of Sheffield.
