One of my boyhood hero’s

Still remember a goal he scored against Newcastle where he picked up the ball on halfway, ran half the length of the pitch , waltzed round the keeper to tap it home.

 

great great player, Good media fella , funny and self deprecating , unlike the.twats now, 

I’m very sad he’s gone . RIP

Very sad news. I liked Greavesie as a player a long, long time ago. If he was a young player nowadays, he'd earn a king's ransom.

 

Amongst his clubs were, chelsea, Milan, Spurs and West Ham, the later that saw at least Martin Peters go to Spurs.

 

Football's a funny ol' game. RIP, Jimmy, mate.

 

Edit, where did Torino come from?!

I remember watching Saint and Greavesy one Saturday and it mentioned headbutting over a recent incident. The game they were discussing involved Birmingham City. Greavesy pipes up and says, well Saint, the way the're playing if a Birmingham City player tried to headbutt someone he'd probably miss.

 

Funny bloke, RIP.

Sad news…Always watched Saint and Greavsie just before going the game . Remember him one year backing us to win everything including the Boat Race and the Grand National 

 

Loved this clip even though it doesn’t actually feature the ‘real’ Jimmy Greaves, I remember him saying that he loved it so much could it do it every week and just post him the cheque
