his shot my fathers advice rang in my ears dont reach for the ball pele swung the ball around the wall the ball was coming towards me when i inadvertently took a step towards it then all of a sudden it appeared to stop and hang in the air i checked myself in time and dived full length and managed to clutch the ball which had propelled forward spinning viciously luckily i managed to keep it under control the other save was certainly the best of the match and my career tony field crossed into the box which pele brilliantly trapped with his chest controlled it with his thigh and just as he was going to volley i threw myself at his feet and pouched it pele was still in the air and his boot just inches from my face like a true pro he checked himself and jumped over me to avoid a nasty clash it is not easy for a goalkeeper to dive in front but i had no time to think and just went for the ball it turned out to be one of the most defining moments of the match when we were going out at halftime pele hugged me at the cosmos team hotel in the evening he kissed me and said goalkeeper you saved your team the pele match was a lifechanging experience for me as told to abhishek ganguly sibaji banerjee is a former mohun bagan goalkeeper
