Today Sunday 19th September 2021 the great Jimmy Greaves passed away. On 1st March 2021 Ian St John passed away. I hope these to giants of English football are catching up and having a kick about. Love and prayers to both families and friends. We shall never see their like again x
Best football programme ever made. Gascoigne asked if he was worried about price tag and saying that he was more worried about looking after himself. Prophetic indeed.
RIP Jimmy Greaves. This show takes me back to when I had just left college and started working. Funny to think that this programme ran just before the Berlin Wall came down and the world changed, and before the EPL started.
Rave on a Friday night, saint and greavesy to watch on the comedown. Glory days. Laughing at Saint been shocked at the amount of 34 million spent though
Brill, another new episode, hope theres more in the new year. Was funny listening to greavsie mock the studio, imagine the posh geordie or trophy head doing that on match of the day
If Greavsie thought £2.8 million was too much for Ian Rush, what would he make of Man United signing Pogba for £89M and Barca signing Coutinho for £105M etc? 🤔
Martin Tyler proclaiming then First Division as ‘best league in the world’. Baring in mind, England internationals at the time, were either going to France, or joining the English exile at Ibrox; Italians having the best players in the world; English clubs banned from Europe. Martin Tyler must have been consuming some top class copium, to make such a statement in 1988.
2 million these days is like 50p in the back pocket of Chelsea, City & Newcastle owners but at the time it was considered a huge fee. Times have changed...
That seems mad given the players they had now.11/1 on Tony Cottee to be top goal scorer St John “Good Price” Greavsie “Not really I wouldn’t back him but I don’t live in Liverpool”😂😂
RIP Ian. Some great times enjoyed watching this as a kid. Does anyone know the music playing when they do an extended feature on the hot players near the start? Was also used when introducing the Rest of the World xi for the 1987 League Centenary.
@@RandomChannelUK I hope so. Episodes of S&G are like gold dust. Just think though, ITV must have all the episodes in their library. I don't know why they don't repeat them on one of their many channels.
2 million was big money back then Football has long since lost its soul Don't even bother with the PL anymore its just money money money Christ sake some folk can't even feed themselves
How the game has changed. 2 million wouldn’t get you an average championship player now!! Not changed for the better as far as money is concerned in my opinion.
I know the gazza and tony cottee transfers been talked as big money buys when league 1 clubs have been known to shell that out now. Still the so called big clubs then still seem to be the same now
