Craziest conspiracy ever.

Why would the CIA interfere in a world cup outcome?

Anyone around remember this world cup? Did you cry when Banks was taken out?

Why did Gordon Banks pull out of the 1970 World Cup quarter-final against West Germany? And was the CIA to blame? Listen as David and Gordon are joined by journalist Gabriel Gatehouse who has spent the past three years investigating whether the CIA poisoned England's star goalkeeper.

    I was fishing in Huntingdonshire during that match. Bit of a shock it turned out to be. And I never caught anything. Very sad day for me.

    And I must add. I don't trust the CIA. I've heard they get up to - shall we say - dodgy stuff.
