The Germany's had Gerd Mueller but England were fortunate to have the greatest. Also comes across as humble and a extremely witty man. He will be sorely missed.
Any football fan worth their salt must have an idea of how great this guy was. He was world class, but he was so unassuming and humble and with that wry sense of mischief and good humour you'd never have known. RIP Greavsie.
Well said Danny. The bizarre world we live in where pre premier league in this country doesn’t count, so Jimmy’s achievements are forgotten. Kane isn’t chasing shearer, he’s chasing Jimmy
If I could have two wishes now and when I was a boy it was to be born to my mum and dad and to play like Jimmy greaves the greatest goal scorer of all time
He was one of the best I've ever seen and I am Red and White and hate the scum. Edit got one of my cousins to change sides , he followed Greaves not the crap up the road. A few doubles and titles later including 1971
Have you been living under a rock? Pretty much everybody who had the pleasure and privilege of witnessing Jimmy play have always talked about his genius ability on the football pitch

What a player, what a legend, good to hear Mr TalkSport himself speaking so passionately about him.
Will be sadly missed a true legend of goalscoring RIP
RIP.."SIR" Jimmy Greaves.
Agreed Danny - he was my idol too! I’m 77. The greatest.

The mark of a great man,and secondary a great footballer,is that other fans,supporters showed the utmost respect to Jimmy Greaves.
Very well said.
After 66 World Cup, he was Englands top scorer in 1967!
he made the opposition look as if they weren't trying

Legend
It’s funny how Danny Kelly never mentioned this before
No 1 mentioned him till he died how sad
