Jimmy Greaves

Postby nottsblue » Sun Sep 19, 2021 9:19 am

Has sadly passed away aged 81

Probably England’s greatest ever striker. His goal scoring record was just phenomenal. A cracking pundit as well, loved Saint and Greavsie as a young lad.

Terribly sad news. RIP

Wouldn't have needed a finishing thread if we'd had him in his prime. Great, great striker.
Top pundit as well. RIP

Watched Jimmy & Alan Gilzean regularly in my student days in the smoke, digs just around the corner from the Lane. Fantastic player.

Probably the best English striker ever. Surprised he lived so long with all that whisky, but at least there's hope for me and my wine

RIP Jimmy, genuine bloke, great player, unlucky with the 66 world Cup injury. Fecker always scored against us.
