Terrible news. Greatest Tottenham and England striker ever. A genuine legend and personality of the game. RIP.

Rest easy Jimmy.

 

[Col_McCafferty]

One of Spurs and England's very best players and a huge part of why I became a football fan, watching him and his old mate St. John on TV.

An absolute LEGEND.

I hope he's at peace now.

Checking in to just check in. Don't know what to say. Sleep easy Jimmy.

I'm actually happy for him and his family because living with a debilitating stroke is a horrible existance.

My dad had a massive stoke and was left in a similar state to Jimmy, to see him reduced to that was absolutely heartbreaking for everyone.

Rest in Peace. A huge influence for football people in the 80’s early 90’s as well as a majestic footballer.

Just shed a tear for Jimmy and whilst I never saw him play growing up, got to know him watching Saint and Greavsie and being shown videos of him back in the day playing for the mighty Spurs. His stand for the Swindon supporters not to be punished back in 1990 on his show when other clubs did far worse and got away with it was always appreciated and remains well thought of in the town to this day. RIP legend and on the day you’re two former clubs meet.

 

[Dixiefish61]

Very sad. At least he can now rest in peace

 

[mummy]

The most massive part of Tottenham Hotspur FC has passed. R. I.P., Jim.

THE LEGEND

 

[CollyQC]

RIP Jimmy, you bowed out while still at the top. Quite the legacy

 

[SouthCoastSpur]

Wow, really sad news. RIP Jimmy.

 

[Summerisle]

Condolences from an Everton fan. A fantastic goalscorer, one of the best football pundits who was never afraid to speak his mind, and a very decent, funny man. Not a bad legacy, and he'll be missed by anybody who likes football. Today's prima donnas should take note.

 

[SpursAllTheWay]

Just heard. Really sad news

 

[stevee]

Really saddened by this.

God rest you Jimmy

 

[1882]

RIP Greavsie.
A TRUE club legend, and genius of the game.

Today's match against Chelsea (of all the clubs) will surely have an added poignance!

I just hope we can do him justice today!
