I grew up with him writing endless articles attacking the club what seemed like every other weekend and dont ever really remember him being v pro Spurs on S&G. That might have been down to the powers that be running the club at the time.

Mister Greaves was a great player, but he was also a cunt apparently. Both during and after his career. I mean, why would a football club not include it's all time goal scorer in their wall of fame? OK, he's there now but you get the point.

Why would I include Benny over our top goal scorer? Did you ever see Benny galavanting around the place with fags, booze and women? Did he come across as being a cunt because he wrote lol after every tweet?

Mate, like I said, it's easy to cross over between best player and legend. If this was a best player list Jimmy would be in it, but it's not.

I thought the reason Greaves wasn't in the hall of fame was because he resented the way he was made to leave the club, and refused the offers.

But I guess that's part of the point of a debate. Bale is an interesting one. When you think of how long Gazza, Lineker, and Waddle were at the club, Bale was present for a big chunk of his career and left some incredible memories. Certainly one of our greatest players. Legend? When he retires and we reflect on him years down the line, it's highly likely.

Why Tottenham legend Jimmy Greaves will not attend the Capital One Cup final against Chelsea

Greaves has never returned to White Hart Lane to watch a game - and will not be at Wembley - because of the manner of his departure 45 years ago

I don’t think Gazza, Lineker or Waddle were around long enough to be legends. Great players though.
 
sorry 5purs 5purs , but even using the c word in relation to our greatest ever goal scorer is downright disrespectful.
Jimmy had his reasons for acting as he did, but I'm glad that he is now back in the fold.

Yeah, this is the thing with best verses legend, as I've said twice now. Jimmy was a great but not a legend, regardless of the heart strings attached. Just as with Lineker after him, both were great goal scorers and both were cunts both during and after their careers. Sorry for the wording but it's apt, like with Sol. The irony being, you saying disrespectful lol.

Agreed.

Anyone that thinks Greaves is or was a cunt after his achievements and goal scoring record at Spurs needs to give their fucking head a wobble.

Bollocks! The day achievement papers over demeanor is the day we get live footage of oj Simpson driving his car at three miles an hour.

Should be Rowe one,two....after all he thought of it
Arthur Sydney Rowe (1 September 1906 – 5 November 1993) was an English footballer, and later manager, who played as a centre half. He was the first manager to lead Tottenham Hotspur to the First Division Championship title in 1951. He also 'invented' the successful "one-two" method of play. :thumbup:
