Probably the most loved British player ever especially off the field a great character and an amazing footballer RIP Master Greaves

Been watching football since 1952; my 3 favourite players of all time were Duncan Edwards, George Best and Jimmy Greaves.

@redlavish7027 2 года назад

I remember speaking to my grandads friend 20 years ago and he said greaves was the best English striker ever. He said at the time, regardless of how many goals he scored, he just was a fantastic footballer. These days people just look at a stats sheet and base there judgement on a player based on there goals and assist.

@imochonai5723 2 года назад

Absolutely. And I think even modern managers do this.

It’s a shame not all of his goals exist on video. What is archived shows he was the greatest goal scorer ever. This I like to think is a great marker of Greaves. My dearly departed grandad who was a gooner, and my recently departed dad, a diehard spurs fan, their answer to the greatest goal scorer; “Greavesie”

@welshdavy3558 2 года назад

@ay613 2 года назад

If it's a serious question then it was because Geoff Hurst was in form, and Jimmy was injured till the quarters so never had a run of games.

@@ndlangamie2495 Who Greavse? That's only because pundits forget football actually existed before the Premier League! You only have to look at Jimmy's stats to give you an idea but if you still don't believe me then watch as much footage as you can. For Jimmy to play the way he did with those big heavy boots, great big laced up leather football, awful pitches while the centre half's kicking lumps out of him because it was the only chance of stopping him and even then they'd be lucky to get anywhere near him. If Jimmy played today he'd at the very least double the amount he scored ...

@davidcheetham8461 2 года назад

I've seen the 2 Ronaldos and Messi and they are not in the same street as Greaves I feel sorry for these youngsters who never saw him. In my opinion there was only one who surpassed him and that was Bobby Charlton... but only just.

@mattinfullvision9598 2 года назад

Indeed but if you were forced at gun point to say who you thought was better you'd say? ... For me it has to be Jimmy! Of course Ronaldo was excellent (much better than the knock off one running around at Old Trafford) but if you put him in those big heavy boots Greaves had to wear on some of those pitches Jimmy played on with defenders kicking lumps out of him while he's trying to kick a heavy laced up leather ball around there's no chance in hell he'd be as good and that's why there's no comparison

@@jmcc8718 You're missing the point that I made. I never said I saw Jimmy Greaves play live, infact, not a single person on this chat thread did. The point I made is you can't diss a legend like Greaves and say he wasn't even close to R9, unless you have seen Greaves play. R9 is one of the GOATs, many of us, in the 90s and early 2000s saw him play in his prime. If you look at Greaves goal scoring record, it's insane, the numbers are CR7 and Messi like, which kinda proves he was some top player.
