This man and Saint John helped me fall in love with the beautiful game, thought they were merely men conversing (arguing) as my dad and uncles did, years later realised they are legends of the game, apologies for my initial ignorance, love from millwall
Yes what a great double act were Jimmy greaves and Ian st John I use to watch Saint and greavsy every week I thought it was a brilliant programme Jimmy greaves and Ian st John were legends
@@jamescarr4662 You *are* missing something. Weather forecasters are equally incompetent to talk about the mechanics behind weather forecasting. Jimmy just called them out on it.
Greatest natural goalscorer there as ever been, is stats are incredible, and the biggest sadness in his career was being dropped for the the world cup Final, in England's finest hour, the historic world cup success of 1966...........Legendary striker Jimmy Greaves.....The Best
He was injured he says this himself and its in RU-vid somewhere. He had a deep cut in his heel needing stitches or something similar. Its others since the final that say he was dropped. He had no hard feelings
Alf was proved right though. Geoff Hurst scores the perfect t hat trick (left foot, right foot and head) in the WC bloody final. No one else has EVER done that!
@@jmichael4002 As a Tottenham supporter he was one of my favourite players of all time. Hopefully it's a good match for Jimmy today between two of his former clubs and he'll get a nice send off from both sets of supporters too
It's like that here in Scotland. They try to be big personalities and to promote their own agendas. Forecasting the weather seems to be beyond their abilities too often.
Between Greavsie and Cloughie you have the very best of firing straight from the hip, telling it like it is - and if it's the truth and it hurts, so much the better. You don't change things by cloaking them for the comfort of the listener.
I met him once and he is. Very approachable. He was opening a shop in Manchester Arndale Centre. Met Jimmy White in similar circumstances. Again, a very nice bloke.
@Inner Light Of Ourselves He may have done on another occasion but it was definitely the late Trish Williamson that bore the brunt at TV-AM around that time. Ulrika Jonsson didn't become the weather forecaster at TV-AM until 1989.
Jimmy lived down the road from us and our village was carnage after the storm. Maybe because we were the only hill for miles around but it was really bad! We didn't have power for a week and the sound of chainsaws was the sound of my childhood as the clean up went on for month after month
The year climate change became a discussion in my view was here in 1987. Jimmy is sort of is pointing this out and the seriousness of it in a very straightforward way , bright bloke , very sharp ! RIP
Before political correctness and everything and everyone was labelled as racist . Seems a different world . I would love to live through these times again .
Well said My Greaves . Even back then they had fools on morning tv and LOADS off them . JIMMY GREAVES IS NOT ONE OFF THEM . GET WELL SOON MR GREAVES 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Greavsie's sense of raconteurship and comic timing here is wonderful. He puts many of the so-called 'professional' stand up acts of today from Live At The Apollo (and who only get laughs by talking about sexual matters, or using cuss words) to absolute shame. If he had never made it as a footballer, he would have been a natural comedian. Top man too.
I could predict the weather in Britain . Damp cold windy dreary absolute crap grey , for 10 months of the year that’s why we all go to Spain to complain it’s to fackin warm
Great rant on meteorologists. 30 years later, they're a little better, but with all their fancy computer models and satellite and radar equipment, they're still wrong a lot of the time.
wr70beh Thing is, it's not even about the meteorology , it's just about keeping people happy and buying shit. All summer the weather was crap but every time I check the forecast was good for the coming days... I felt like a donkey chasing a carrot
Aye. I always laugh when the say nowadays, the weather is going to be changeable. Changeable what does that mean haha. It means you dont know what its going to do and what its going to change to the day after.
He was eight or nine years sober in this interview but in the 70s he was drinking 20 pints of beer and a bottle of vodka every day, so you could argue the biggest miracle is that he was still alive
Just so true, real men call a spade a spade, i can recall going to school in the 60s where we had 2 foot of snow, but we still got to school, you traipse your way by leaving 10 mins earlier, today we are breeding a bunch of wimps
Saw his 1st game in a Spurs shirt at Plymouth for reserves in Dec 61 and he scored in front of 12000 fans at Home Park Argyles 2nd biggest crowd that season Spurs won 5-1
Nowts changed in 31 years. that Carol on morning BBC spends more time in the studio and at Wimbledon fortnight than outside reporting the weather. Get out there and fkg do your job. They all think they should be on Strictly nowadays.
