Jimmy Greaves

[The Mercurial No.10]

Documentary on BT Sport 1 HD in 15 minutes or so.

A far few people saying to those that had never seen him "look at Messi, the way he glides past people"
Which I think is a fairly good analogy.

Thoughts?

How come we didn't win the league when we had Greaves? We did the double, signed him but never won the title again?

Philosophy Football have reissued the Jimmy Greaves t-shirt.
A bit opportunistic, but their stuff is good quality and their heart is in the right place.

John White died.

Unimpressed when Kane used his appearance on TV before today's game, in theory to say something about Jim, to say how he hopes to beat Greavsie's record. Inappropriate and naive. I'm probably being too touchy, but there you go.

I didn't see that......


FFS; kids today.

Needs a stand named after him at the very least.

A genuine galactico. Easily one of the greatest.

Definitely, someone suggested a statue of Greaves outside the ground, i wouldn't mind that either.

Fully agree and this is an ENIC football stress test for me, with us being anchor tenants and all! How comfortable are they given all the other events they hold with statues outside the ground?

Dunno how true it is, but Andy Golstein said when discussing this on TS tonight, that Spurs have a "no statues" policy...... I got the impression that this pre-dates the new stadium.

Anyone know if true and if so why...?

Also.... Check out Danny Kelly's 'My Sporting Life' with Greavsie.... It's being repeated now on TS, but bound to be available for download too.

It's the bollocks!

Those we lost in 2021: Jimmy Greaves remembered by Geoff Hurst

Love that story playing for England and everyone bricking it at HT because they're going to be bollocked.

First match I ever saw, Greaves and Hurst were both playing for WHU at Palace. Moore too.
