  • This is a man who only played at the top level, scoring 422 goals in 602 appearances in a day when forwards were kicked from arsehole to breakfast time. We were gutted when he left Chelsea but he was the greatest goal scorer of all time ... bar none.

  • Legend.

  • great this man has moved in my village, good to see him in the local shop,,,,,,

  • "That actually IS a performance enhancing drug!"

  • it's a shame he didn't settle in Milan, but as an AC fan i'm glad he played for my team. i never understand why he came back to England after such a good season in terms of goals... anyway, great striker!

  • greavsie is cool great sense of humour

  • @tommyrockon .Spot on mate. Greavsie was the real deal. World class!!. Wish he was a geordie!!

  • Must have something to idolise. Spin the wheel. Where will it stop? Click..click....click.........­­JIMMY GREAVES! And why not? It's a funny old world.

    Respect for his achievements on the pitch. They mean a lot in the grand scheme. As much as this comment. Some might get excited about both. Some neither. Lol.

    And if you are going to idolise someone that kicks stuff for a living, then I guess Mr Greaves kicks Beckham and Rooney's combined arses. But does it matter?

  • Greavies 44 goals in 57 games for England speaks for itself. If he hadn't have been injured before the 1966 World Cup Final would Geoff Hurst be even spoken about today, because he wouldn't have been in the final 11 or had a knighthood.

  • The facts gentlemen are these: Jimmy Greaves played his greatest football as a youngster at Chelsea... it is difficult to describe just how amazing he was... up there with Pele and Garrincha... He continued to be a great player for Tottenham but those very early days were incredible. Peter Osgood as a 17/18 year old in the mid-60s came close but Greavsie was the greatest. Respect.
