What a legend. RIP Sir James Greaves. They need a statue of him ASAP. Never heard a bad word about him, all of his peers loved him. His autobiography, "Greavsie", is the best ive ever read and thoroughly recommended.
It’s strange that we have no statues around our ground, could easily have Ledley king, bill Nicholson, jimmy greaves, sandy brown, Arthur rowe and Danny blanchflower but we’ve not got any statues at all.
@@Jaybale3 very strange..Im a Stoke fan...yeah I know!....but can't understand why the greatest goalscorer in English footballs history isn't honoured with a statue at a club where he is their record goalscorer. Sad times indeed. Best wishes to you
Only seeing some of the clips of this legend since he sadly passed away. It's pretty obvious how good he was. The way he dribbled past players and left defenders for dead reminded me of Messi. He was a great finisher too. A real class act. The way the fans celebrated his goals showed he was almost god like. RIP Greavsie. Enjoy your well earned rest 🇨🇮
@@afcfinners no worries, I'm probably just being pedantic, know the time and effort that goes into making these videos, appreciate the work and tribute to Jimmy
Thanks for this tribute. I know he was not a Winger but....:) "Hey ! Bonnie Jim, The Man On THe Wing, Cut Inside, Shoot and Score Jim Was The Man Who Was Born To Be King Scoring For Evermore.......R.I.P. Jimmy...
Well the idea was good .👍Shame about the obvious mistakes “Jimmy” Nicholson signing him & only scoring one goal in The ECWC final of 1963 , he actually scored two .
Always said that Greaves was the player who made me suffer the most. I remember the day White got struck by lightning and seeing the headline `Spurs star struck by lightning... Dead`. I couldn`t wait to get off the bus and buy the paper, I was praying that it was Greavsie. That`s how good he was and its probably the biggest compliment I can pay him. Funnily enough, despite my hatred of him as a player, I actually came to quite like him when he retired and moved into punditry. If someone had of told me that as a kid I`d have thought they`d have lost their fuckin minds.
