Jimmy Greenhoff.Best player ive ever seen in a Stoke shirt. Scored great goals. Made other players around him into better players. He was top class in an era of very good players.

The Butler St Dug-Outs were there for a short time. Idea from Mick Mills was that Sammy Chung could see what was going on down that side. So he could coach our winger and full back. Was it Chambo at that time ??

I was there in 72. Just 12 year old with my Dad and sister. Still got my flag. Remember how big the steps on terrace were but still strugglig to see. I remember it being a lot like it is now. The feeling that players and fans were together.Chelsea fans a bit upset and lots of broken windows on our coaches.

You just jogged my memory meirsquare. I also went to see Jimmy`s debut for the mancs against west ham. Just a one-off, but i think it shows what a lot of us thought of him. By the way he very nearly scored from halfway line that day.

Having spotted this thread about the great Sir Jim, it moved me to make my very first posting to The Oatcake. He was my boyhood hero. For me No Stoke player has ever lived up to his carisma. One saturday morning the sport headline in the Express was "Greenhoff brothers United" I thought we had signed Brian. But i remember being devistated when i read the article. Went to Derby on the Train on my own in early 70`s. They were top, we beat them 2-0. On that gluepot pitch. It was on Sunday Soccer. Jimmy scored both goals. Typically a diving header and a volley. Pure class. He still my hero today.
