Jimmy Greaves RIP

Greavsie and Der Bomber gone within months of each other. Two outrageously prolific goalscorers. Like most of us, I know Greavsie as a pundit and TV presenter. He never seemed to have an agenda and bias when presenting, just enjoying the game for what it was, but with one exception. He couldn't help but take the piss out of Scottish goalkeepers!

He coached at a soccer school I attended when I was 13 (1984). He was incredibly funny, kind and generous with his time. 
I was a kid and didn't appreciate it at all, typical. I said to someone on twitter the other day he played on my 5-a-side team and they said "you played with Jimmy Greaves?" and then it hit me.
