Get well soon Sir James Greenhoff. We need and want to see you mote often at Stoke.
One of my favourite players ever in English football.
According to M.E.N Jimmy is 72-ish, time goes by so quickly.

Get well soon Jimmy. I'll never forget when I heard the news the club had sold him; I was totally gutted. We live in similar times...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Played his first home game for Stoke 50 years ago this weekend (16 Aug 1969) in 2-1 win over WHU. I remember he was so good we couldn't believe that Birmingham sold him to us. He was everywhere and my mate jokingly shouted "bloody hell Jimmy, give somebody else a kick." Get well soon Jimmy, I don't think we ever replaced you.

Get well soon Jimmy, quite possibly the best volleyer of a football that ever put on a pair of football boots and just as important, a bloody nice bloke.

Jimmy Greenhoff - a truly great Stoke City legend. I fell out of love with nogger when we sold him. Took me ages to get back in the pram.
All the best Jimmy and very best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
OS Doffs flat cap.

We'd rather have Greenhoff than the stand is what we sang in the Boothen.
Best player we've had in a lifetime.
Get well soon Jimmy.

Gutted when he left us and even threatened to support his new team but couldn’t bring myself to do it. Get well Jimmy. I played no 8 all my career because of him.

My business partner lives opposite him in Alsage. His wife had a chat with Jimmy's wife. She said they think it was some sort of allergic reaction, but he seems to be doing fine. She was just going to the hospital to visit, and said he should be out of hospital today. Good news!

Stay away from that place (OT) Jimmy mate, you can catch all sorts in there. Stick to the BET365 with your/our family in your rightful home.

Get well soon Jimmy. I'll never forget when I heard the news the club had sold him; I was totally gutted. According to the book A Working Man’s Ballet, Jimmy was as gutted as the fans and didn’t want to leave Stoke. He was sold to raise funds to replace Butler Street Stand roof. Speedy recovery King Jimmy.

I always remember years after Jimmy had left Stoke, one chap in the Boothen End during a quiet ebb in the match would shout "JIMMY GREENHOFF"
Best of luck Jimmy

Hope he is soon on the mend. Was speaking to him last Sunday at Freeport. I told him that '' when he was forced to leave for that club up the road, that myself and a mate went house to house on a Stoke-on-Trent estate to collect signatures to take to the board, we collected 600 in no time''.
The things you do with youthful innocence. I also reminded Jimmy that we in the Boothen sang his name for the two seasons after his departure, his reply was ''yes, I know, bless them''. A true Stoke City legend and a lovely man, get well soon, Jimmy.
