Always had a lot of time for Jimmy. Many fellow Scots think likewise.

@bouncer2005 2 года назад

Love Johnny Giles …. Fantastic player, knowledge and insight

@getmetothegeek4066 2 года назад

I'm very impressed, given his age and his "retirement" from TV punditry. To be honest, I mainly know him from the unfair Apres Match skits.

@pgc8410 2 года назад

A proper legend and best English goalscorer ever

@trevordavies5486 2 года назад

He was a great reader of the game and had exceptional intuition and anticipation.

@amcmenemy5647 2 года назад

Despite all Jimmy's heroics on the pitch, his greatest achievement was staying sober since 1978. A wonderful example for the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. RIP Jim.

@stephenreeds3632 2 года назад

He was nervous about going to West Ham because of their drinking culture. Should have gone to Derby coz Clough wanted him. Imagine how many more goals he would have got for them. RIP.

@@stephenreeds3632 That would have been awesome had he gone to Derby.

I was born in 1965 and never saw Jimmy play but remember watching Saint and Greavsie, not too many memories except I really enjoyed it

@randyborstol2491 2 года назад

Anyone interested in Jimmy - please check out The Jimmy Greaves Story. He is interviewed by Brian Moore and it's one of the best interviews I have ever seen.

@aidankearney493 2 года назад

Jimmy Greaves, the best striker and finisher in the 60s, a time when defenders could hack you down. The pitches were a lottery. Legend.

@TWW-zk9gw 2 года назад

and don't forget back passes to the keeper and the offside trap. goals used to be way harder to come by.

@seaniek9175 2 года назад

Great insights from John as usual.

@petewhittaker3303 Год назад

Greaves was a world great and Johny Giles was A terrific player to. A pleasure to have seen the likes of Jimmy Greaves and the skills and toughness of Giles!

@gregod806 2 года назад

Great description by Johnny Giles but he was wrong re; 66 WC, Jimmy got injured against France that required stitches in his shin and never got his place back when he recovered as Hurst came in and the rest as they say is history. 41 goals as a teenager for Chelsea who ended up mid table speaks volumes. In a world where the word 'Legend' is bandied about all too freely, it is certainly appropriate where Jimmy Greaves is concerned.

@MrPhantom1961 2 года назад

Absolutely correct. You beat me to it - an injury not a drop off in form.

@randyborstol2491 2 года назад

It was form ultimately. He was fit for the final but wasn't picked. He had 3 indifferent games in the group stage. If he was firing he would have got back in for the final.

@phillipsmith4485 2 года назад

Best player I ever saw.

@tarquin4592 2 года назад

I went to an Arsenal away game at Villa in the early 60's and after the match the Arsenal fans were at New Street Station. Back then the Arsenal team would often be travelling back to London on the same train; the fans were on the platform waiting for the train back and some of us had a chat with the then manager George Swindin. One chap asked Swindin about the possibility of signing Greaves for Arsenal, "He's a troublemaker", Swindin replied. Yeah, think about it, Jimmy Greaves was a trouble maker, a troublemaker for countless defences during his star studded career. Not long after Swindin was sacked and Jimmy Greaves went on plundering goals for fun, but I always regretted he never wore the red and white of Arsenal because he was regarded as 'a troublemaker.'

Only Ronaldo & Messi have scored more goals than Jimmy Greaves from the European top 5 Leagues.

@D_B_Cooper 2 года назад

He did win a league title - 1962 serie A

@daddybassi 2 года назад

Wasn't that the 61 season?

@aidankearney493 2 года назад

Nathan do your history, Spurs double 1961,Fa Cup 1963, European Cup winners 1963, FA Cup 1967. Not too shabby.

@aidankearney493 2 года назад

This is in reference to Jimmy Greaves rip and his legacy at Spurs in the 60s.

@philipcohen3942 2 года назад

Spurs won the FA Cup in 1962 when they beat Burnley, not 1963.

@johnboylan3591 2 года назад

Sunderland have been champions more times than spurs

@eamonreidy9534 Год назад

Just to contradict John Giles on one thing. Greaves made brilliant investments with his family when he was a player and I'm nearly certain that he was the rare example of a football millionaire before he retired

@davidport9515 2 года назад

A greaT player talking about a great player Giles was the best passer of a ball I've seen geavsie played on mud heaps against defenders who would happily break his leg I would love to see Messi and renaldo survive then and score that amount of goals I think not

@davidport9515 2 года назад

Aiden Kearney I think tottenham won the cup again in 62 I think man utd won it in 63

@davidport9515 2 года назад

Gregg od correct

@alancampbell3364 Год назад

John is a bit confused here ,Greaves lost his place through injury in 66

@trevord59 2 года назад

Probably shouldnt have stayed at Spurs for so long

@mikehopkins4040 2 года назад

I think the way Bill Nicholson got rid of him was a knife in the back . Jimmy loved playing for Spurs that's why he stayed there .He was much more loyal to them than they were to him. He was never the same after that.
