Jimmy Greaves RIP

[BrianW]

Brilliant player,one of the all-time greats. RIP Jimmy.

Proved to me at a time when physicality was not banned in football that great strikers can score despite lack of height and rough tactics.

 

[Gabriel]

Something rather uncanny that he passes just as Tottenham and Chelsea play each other. A great goalscorer who should be remembered for his extraordinary playing career.

RIP Greavsie and condolences to his family.
Loved Saint and Greaves back in the day.

 

[Kiss this guy]

I hope Spurs do a minute silence today, non of this applause shite. Give him the respect he deserves.

Rest in peace Jimmy. Great player, great bloke. Had his flaws but don't we all?

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Very sad, seemed like a really good bloke, & probably the best english striker ever, how much would he be worth in todays game?

 

[malg]

Sad day. Seemed a nice genuine bloke and I like many others on here grew up with Saint and Greavsie. As others have said, he was a top, top striker but unfortunately didn't grow up in the Sky era so is never, ever mentioned in the discussions about best strikers.

Lovely man, great player. RIP Jimmy.

 

[Gray]

Fantastic goalscorer and a genuine nice man.

The Aguero of his day - RIP Jimmy.
