Jimmy Greaves on Harry Kane 

RIP Greavsie! what a show Saint and Greavsie was back in the day. What a striker he was 44 goals for England in 57 caps when we didnt play Andorra and San Marino every qualifying campaign

I was fortunate enough to see Jimmy play in his prime, the best I've ever seen.

What a player...greavsie was bloody awesome..absolute legend..

As an by Arsenal fan greavsie was part of my childhood. My grandad said he was the best striker he ever saw. Nothing but the upmost respect for this man. Rest in peace Jimmy the like of you will never come around again 👍🏻👍🏻

Two of the greatest English strikers ever

"Its a funny old game" used to love to watch Saint n Greavsie on a Saturday morning with my dad. The reason i became a Spurs fan! He was an hero in our house..Legend!!

Legend and in a long list of amazing English Spurs strikers. COYS

Saints and Greavsie was essential television in my household as a kid growing up in the 80's. RIP Jimmy thanks for the memories.

I grew up in the time of Stanley Matthews, Tom Finney, Duncan Edwards, Jackie Milburn and a whole host of great players. I can recall Jimmy Greaves playing for the Chelsea youth team at Highbury and later on watching him at White Hart Lane. I was always filled with trepidation when Jimmy had the ball because there was always a chance he would inevitably score; he was a fantastic player and even though I am Arsenal through and through, I resented the treatment Jim got from Alf Ramsey in the 1966 World Cup. He'll always be one of my favourite footballers of all time along with George Best and Duncan Edwards.

Absolutely gutted his stroke left him speechless, would have loved to have heard his thoughts on him years after this interview

Greaves saw the future before we did...legend rest in peace

Greavsie is an absolute legend. What a goalscorer he was. Just incredible. (From a Wales fan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿) 👍

Jimmy Greaves was a class act on the pitch, a unique striker also a very intelligent and articulate man. RIP Greavsie..LEGEND.

People might think Alan shearer is the greatest goal scorer in English football and he’s definitely up there but that’s only because the records are going off the premier league which was rebranded from the 1st division in 1992. Jimmy greaves is actually the greatest english football goalscorer of all time with 357 goals in 516 games and a goal to game ratio of 0.69 which is incredible. A lot of the older generation will remember him and know how good he was but for the younger generation this would have been like having Erling Haaland, Harry Kane or Sergio Aguero in your team, a prolific goalscorer who isn’t always remembered as much as some of the other old English players you might know e.g. Sir Bobby Charlton or Bobby Moore, a lot of this could be down to the fact that jimmy greaves didn’t play in the 1966 World Cup final winning team despite being to many the best striker England possessed. Greaves picked up an injury in the group stages against France which led to Sir Geoff Hurst replacing the former in the team. England manager Alf Ramsey stuck with hurst and in the final, despite being fit to play, greaves was left out of the team with hurst keeping his place in the 11. This was a decision that proved to be successful for Ramsey and England as Hurst scored a Hattrick and England beat west Germany 4-2. However part of me wonders how different the legacy of jimmy greaves would have been had he not got injured and kept his place in the team, maybe England would have lost the final? Maybe he would have scored a hattrick like Sir Geoff Hurst? Who knows? But one thing is for certain, Jimmy Greaves is the greatest goal scorer England has ever produced.

I wish the owners of Tottenham Hotspur would erect a statue of Greavsie outside the ground. Jimmy, for me, is the greatest player to have played for Spurs. Legend is not a big enough word to describe this man.

The legend was spot on because he really did it

Greaves, greatest English striker ever. Coming from a Gooner.

Jimmy was a wonderful player and man. RIP legend

Greavsie was my boyhood hero. There was a buzz in the stadium every time he got the ball. But I also think Kane has it tougher playing against better defenders. Then again many defenders tried to kick Greaves out of every game.

Greaves is spurs and England’s best ever striker

Obviously knows what he’s taking about legend!

Jimmy Greaves Scored on his debut for EVERY Club he joined. One of the all time greats and he predicts Harry Kane becoming the lead striker for England. I wonder if he thought Kane would brake his goal scoring record for Spurs ; as Kane has just done? Go on You Spurs go on Harry Kane

Jim knew football alright. Inside and out. Such a loss to not just football but general English culture. A truly humorous gent. RIP Both Saint and Greavsie👍

Greatest British player ever. Don’t bother bringing up Best - this guys longevity and pure magic with the ball ate his feet was something 357 league goal is complete unrivalled in England. RIP.

Seriously can you imagine the great Jimmy playing in this day n age! It would just be way too easy for him man! Hat-trick dam near every game! Perfect pitches, light balls, defenders can’t touch you etc

My all time hero and always will be RIP jimmy

The legend that was jimmy Greaves my boyhood hero and my hero till my dying day

Absolutely devastating for Greaves that he didn't play in the 1966 final. Of course we won and Geoff Hurst became immortalised. But truth be told, Hurst was nowhere near the level of Greaves. Hurst was a good striker. But not world-class. But fortune favoured him to be at the right place at the right moment and to be fair to him he delivered. But it was hard on Greaves and I don't think he ever got over the disappointment of not playing in the final when he was one of the best - if not *the* best striker this country has ever produced. As for Harry Kane, he still has time to win a trophy his world-class quality deserves. I would love to think it would be at Spurs. But realistically he may have to move and as a Spurs fan I wouldn't blame him. The guy has basically carried us for the last few years. I have nothing but utmost appreciation for him and wish him the best if he does move. (Of course I'd prefer him to stay.)

Rip greavsie. Legend. Remember Saturdays early afternoon watching him and Saint. On the saint and greavsie show when I was a kid. Loved that show

Greavsie! What a legend! I was lucky enough as a kid to watch him play against Burnley. It was a magical evening. Spurs won 7-2. Greavsie scored three, I think. Amazing player!

Jimmy looked and sounded so well here. R. I. P legend

Unfortunate jimmy didn’t live to see Harry break his record

Had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago as a spurs fan it was amazing but what a nice chap rip Jimmy

Thanks for the memories Jimmy 👍

Saw Jimmy in his pomp playing for Chelsea youths. Chelsea legend Frank Blunstone always used to say he could never work out if Jimmy was right or left footed! Absolute genius never be another like him!

Lucky enough to see the master play against Olympic Lyon in a Cup Winners Cup evening game in1967........he was my hero in those days. I think he scored 2 goals. Staying in a Tottenham Court Road hotel on a weeks school trip me and the lads thought Spur's ground couldn't be far away, could it? It was miles! Don't know how we got there and back but it was so worth it to see a true legend. R.I.P.Jimmy

Greaves is a legend, one of the greatest yet most underrated strikers ever Coming from a man utd fan

Rest in Peace Guv’na!

Very perceptive Jimmy there regarding Kane. Jimmy was simply the greatest English goal scorer ever, he had no peers.

At Spurs Greaves had great players around him. I saw him play for Chelsea who generally were a struggling side and he was a goal machine

I played against Jimmy when I was in Junior School, we both went to different schools in Dagenham. Fantastic player.

I saw most of Jimmy Greaves games for Spurs. He wasn’t one of the best strikers in English football. He WAS the best without a shadow of doubt

Salt of the earth. Legend, and hero. Rip Jimmy

Great sees great.

Ali Gold in his latest vlog said "the late great Jimmy Greaves actually said to the family if there's anyone I'd like to beat my record it’s Harry.” That means a lot to me.

True Legend Jimmy Greaves.

Jimmy what a striker you were true legend rip Jim

The question people always ask me is, who's the best , Greaves or Kane? As a lifelong Spurs fan my answer is this. Kane is a footballer who scores goals, Greaves was a goalscorer. Bill Nicholson didn't expect Greaves to come back into midfield to try to win the ball, he was paid to score goals -and he was the best there was at it. Does that answer the question?

RIP Greavsie

Love Jimmy. He is all I love about Spurs.

MY FIRST FOOTBALL HERO JIMMY GREAVES! REST IN PEACE.

I met jimmy greaves and his wife once at a wedding - we sat on same table - what a lovely man such a gentleman - I was very happy when he said he’d enjoyed meeting me 👍

Love yer, Greavesie. R.I.P.

Spot on

What a goalscorer Greaves was. Kane is wonderful but I always preferred watching Jimmy. I suppose that he was palying in a much better team at the time back in the 60s.

He said it’s not like we have Suarez or Aguero. That’s an honest man right there

I've been through good times and bad, but boy am I glad to be brewing up for star names.

From a Manchester United fan, I loved Jimmy Greaves, wish he received appropriate recognition. One cannot make a comparison with Jimmy and Shearer or Kane. Try and play a match today at Scunthorpes home ground with the ball and boots they played in back then.

R.I.P Jimmy Greaves LEGEND

Legend!

Being a Spurs fan, l am not biased. BUT Jimmy Greaves was the best goal poacher this country ever had. Don’t forget in those days, they wore hob nail boots. Now days they wear so called trainers, or as good as with this light ball.

Greaves was on a different level to everyone 💙🫡🙏🍻⭐️🏐🥇🏆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Greavesy the greatest English striker ever. 357 top flight goals, forget Shearer.

Greaves played when pitches were mudheaps and defenders were hatchet men, it was much harder then!

Listen to this man regarding strikers because he knew more than most

Fantastic

Kane is a good Player. Greaves was a Genius.

Rip Greaves God bless

Jimmy Greaves , what a goal scorer

Jimmy 💕

miss you jimmy......

Sir Jimmy greaves was the best, what a legend ,kane is mustard both ,kane do the record shearer's 260 easy

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but can you imagine how many goals we may have beat Germany in the 1966 final with Greavsie in the side !!

Funny auld game , part of a nations life for many years alongside Ian st John.

Great player, Great presenter. Great man

Jimmy must feel proud that someone like Kane has surprisingly gotten past him as Tottenham Hotspurs Top Scorer

Big up greavsie and big up kane. Now it's time for kane to win some trophies

If it weren’t for JIMMY GREAVES I would not have been a football fan or,a SPURS fan. Love JIMMY GREAVES love SPURS COYS get it right on the pitch and make us proud!!!⚽️👍⚽️

I still remember when Greavesie was the leading scorer in the top division - seemed like year in, year out. He achieved it 6 times and no-one has done that since! Could have been more if he hadn't played in Italy.

Legend on the pitch and in the TV studios. Not many do that . Definitely not Lineker anyway

The greatest natural goal scorer of all time

Miss you Greavsie !

God bless you jimmy if you would have played now you would have cost a fortune to sign you were one of the best

So the Saint Greevsey show back on upstairs, with PELE, Bobby, and all that we love an miss😥✌️👍🙏💯🇬🇧 🗣️🙏 REST with the best 🤞🧐

Simply the best greavsie

Legend

Beautiful man! YNWA

From a gooner. Greavsie is a legend 🙌

Conte should listen to this. “You can’t play the same way all the time”. Wise words Greavsie!

He’s doing you proud Jimmy!

Greaves was a great player and a great man. RIP from a man with similar issues, not the talent though.

I must admit,at first I didn't buy into Harry Kane being anything more than a one season wonder nut he has continued to score a high number of goals consistently over many seasons whilst also developing his game as Jimmy Greaves suggested as striker should do in this very video. Jimmy and Harry both excellent footballers.

Judging by his tone, he never thought he’d beat his record one day.

Jimmy Greaves, my favourite. He never did want to leave Chelsea….

Top man Jimmy.

Proper GOAT

It takes a great one to know a great one .

The best British striker ever

1:25 "Glineker" haha

How cool is that ? prescience. Nice one Greavsie !!
