RIP Jimmy Greaves

[phil bottle 9,893]

Another old footballer leaves this mortal coil.

 

Jimmy, probably the best striker this country has ever produced, would literally walk the ball into the back of the net.

 

Another genius who had too close a relationship with alcohol meaning a shorter career than it should have been.

 

RIP sir 👏

I think sometimes life passes us by without stoping for a moment and trying to take in how he still is the most prolific striker England has EVER produced. He has 357 first class goals, which no one is near to beating. Only missed the World Cup of 1966 through injury, it would be a travesty if younger folk forgot a player like Greavesie was.

 

He was known for his cock-ups or 'Gaffes' in his old age but he was the Grandafther of the Saturday sport show alongside Ian St. John. Can't believe we've lost 'Saint and Greavesie' in the same year. 🧡

When I was into football Saint and greavsie was a must watch. 

 

Oh and I didn't know Ian St John had died either. 

 

RIP guys
