Banks: Man City keeper Hart must be at best against Brazil

England legend Gordon Banks expects Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart to be busy tonight against Brazil.

Banks revealed he's a big fan of Hart but insists the 25-year-old could well be in for a busy night against the five-time World Cup winners.

"Playing against Brazil at Wembley, I'm sure he will know he'll have a bit of work to do," said Banks.

"I can see them coming over to try to beat us. It's going to be a super game. Joe Hart's doing very, very well. I must admire him.

"Since he's got into the England team he's looked confident about what he's doing, he's playing well for Manchester City, he commands his area, he's got good reflexes for a tall man and he dominates in the air.

"He's not all that old at all. He could go on and even get better and stay with the England team for quite a number of years."
