[Football] Jimmy Greaves RIP

[Questions]

Sad news to hear that the great man has passed away. For people of my age an absolute legend

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

His playing days were all but behind him when I was born but Saint and Greavsie was a must watch before heading to The Goldstone Ground as a lad.

RIP Jimmy.

Such a talented goalscorer a true great RIP

 

[Icy Gull]

RIP, I think he has been quite poorly for some considerable time though?

Fabulous player (goal poacher) and a great and amusing pundit

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Greatest goal poacher ever. RIP Jimmy

 

[portlock seagull]

Wonderful footballer, amongst the greatest. Excellent TV pundit too. Kind and compassionate man too apparently, spending time with Bradford fire victims in hospital away from the media glare according to my wider family, some of whom died at VP and/or hands and faces were melted in the tragedy.

RIP Jimmy, another World Cup hero gone.

 

[Pavilionaire]

A true legend. Arguably the most naturally gifted English striker of all-time and such a dry sense of humour.

He has been ill for a long time and this day has been coming. R..I.P. Jimmy.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Supremely appropriate that it is Tottenham v Chelsea today.

This. RIP Greavsie .

 

[Monkey Man]

Hope it's a minute's applause rather than silence, assuming we mark this event at the game today.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Honestly thought he’d passed years ago. RIP.

Oh, no! My boyhood hero bar none, and I was there to see THAT goal vs. Manchester United. Very sad if not unexpected news. RIP.

[Sorrel]

A fantastic player who never quite got the respect he deserved due to missing out on the World Cup Final squad in 1966.

 

[Weststander]

RIP Jimmy.

One of the greatest finishers in the game’s history.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

The greatest striker this country has ever produced.

 

[Kosh]

A brilliant, brilliant player and a brilliant, brilliant man... an all too rare combination, a genuine model pro and person too... and as others have alluded to... none of the superstar trappings, and one of those people who was always smiling and positive... I wish him peace.

Rest well Jimmy.

RIP

Getting to 81 was a real achievement for Greavsie. What a life.

 

[Beach Hut]

RIP, great player and Saint & Greavsie was superb football TV

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

There was a great documentary on TV about him a while back.
Another one of my earliest footballing heroes gone.

RIP Jimmy

Another Albion fan who was a Spurs fan in their glory hunting youth? I recognise every player fondly on that Spurs team sheet
