Some great stories and reminiscences on here, watched Saint and Greavsie avidly when first lived in Stoke on Lime St and an essential part of match days and Saturdays. No punches pulled and funny with it, and an outstanding player. Rip Mr Greaves

As a matter of interest (one for you Stattos), how does his goals tally in the top league compare with that of Law, Rush and Shearer? He is miles ahead on goals scored and per game, Kane is on a par, only Ronaldo Messi and Muller have better stats based on games played and Greaves didn’t play in the same quality of team as those three

I saw Greaves in a Stoke City shirt at the Matthews testimonial in April 1965 . I was just short of my tenth birthday

Genuine WORLD CLASS striker WORLD CUP WINNER Only Messi and Ronaldo have scored more 350 top flight goals
Banks, Moore, Charlton and Greaves. The greatest ever English team. The best in the world in their time.
RIP Greavsie

One of my abiding memories of Jimmy was when John Farmer made an unbelevable save from a deflected Greaves shot, Jimmy applauded the save and shook hands with Farmer .A real gent as well as a brilliant footballer RIP Mr Greaves.

The best in the world in their time. RIP Greavsie Yes, they're the four l'd have from my boyhood years in my all-time England eleven. Plus Stan, Finney and Edwards from the black and while era and Cole, B. Robson and Shearer from more recent times. Just missing a right back now.

Nah. If he was that good, would he have lost his place to George Cohen just before the 66 World Cup?
