Proper players and people, the pair of them. Relaxed, funny yet good picks. Jimmy would be in any side with Best but he’s too modest to pick himself. Glad Ian said it for him
Two absolute legends. Loved their show as a kid. RIP Saint and Greavsie. Hope you're having a pint together up there somewhere. By the way, love the way they are picking a ridiculously attacking team. Brilliant.
That team would have scored so many goals, and absolutely controlled the midfield that they wouldn't have been too worried about the defence. But what a defence they had sitting in front of Banksie. I'm fortunate that I saw many of these footballers play when I was a child. Greavsie in my opinion was England's greatest goal scorer.
Just smiling all the way through this. Absolutely wonderful together. Saint and Greavsie reminds me of being a kid who loved football. Wish I could have seen Jimmy play
Real happy days. That was when football punditry was very watchable and great fun. Not like today when it gets really boring as they try to get so technical and basically are spouting rubbish!!!! RIP both Saint and Greavsie you were two very special blokes.
I think at one point even Pele said that Greaves was the best striker on the planet after him . Greaves was an awesome goal scoring machine . Every defender in the world dreaded playing against him .
@Joel D ~ Greavsie was quick and able to go past defenders as if they weren't there. Could you imagine him playing today at his peak. Forget his 30 - 40 goals a season. It would be more like 50+ The balls are now much lighter. Modern boots are like wearing Hush Puppies, they're so light. Pitches are now pristine. When Greavsie played even top grounds ended up being mud baths. The modern game would give him an extra yard or more of pace. Seeing as he was quick anyway, he'd become unstoppable.
Magical listening to those two greats. Very sad they both passed away this year. Many special memories of them as players and broadcasters. Thoughts are with their families.
I’m trying to work out when this is. They talk about Cafu’s 4th World Cup-which would make it as late as 2006. Cafu’s debut was in 1990 after Italia 90 so possibly they are confused, but this would still make it as late as 2002. Had no idea they were still on tv at this point. Wikipedia says the programme finished in 1992.
Greavsie was my idol at school i had his name all over my school books and satchel ..I used to occasionally get bullied at school I was the only Spurs fan there because I live in the North West . we thumped Burnley and I got a hiding but it was worth it !
@ Norman Giller - Four great shouts. Duncan Edwards should have been destined for great things, unfortunately he tragically lost his life in the Munich air crash.
An impossible task. Only by breaking it down into decades could you possibly do a World's greatest X1. Was good fun though seeing these two together. I miss Greavsie on the telly
Jimmy Johnstone should be in that team, He ripped Inter Milan apart in Lisbon 67 then a fortnight later he destroyed real Madrid in the bernabau in Di Stefano's testimonial
Not so sure . I love Clough but I think that he was much better at managing up and coming players but struggled a bit with players already at the very top . I’m not sure his style of man management was suited to elite world class players . Maybe he could have adapted in time but I don’t think he would have wanted to . It was either do things his way or get out of the team . A lot of the names mentioned here definitely would not have put up with that .
Yes I was very surprised that they didn’t even mention Eusebio . I think they must have just forgotten him with all those other names otherwise they could well have put him in the side . I know that they both thought he was a fantastic player . I personally think he was a much better footballer than Pele although definitely not as good a striker , but more creative for sure . I wish that Saint and Greavsie had of talked about a World Squad aswell because Dennis Law probably would have got into that .
I was trying to figure that out too. Saint and Greavsie only ran until 1992, but they mentioned MK Dons who weren't formed until 2004. My best guess this was a World Cup special which would make it perhaps 2006?

Saint and Greavsie were such a big part of my childhood,loved this show. May they both Rest in Peace.
Agreed, they were fantastic entertainment.
No graphics, no whoosh sounds, just a static camera shot of two legends having a chat. Wonderful.
Love this.
RIP greavsie.. Sadly these two legends now longer with us. I hope they are both having a pint together up there
I hope not! Greaves was an alcoholic.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329Give him something non-alcoholic then.
What a so much simpler time and all the better for it. It was just like watching two blokes down the pub discussing footy.
@Puppy 1975 depends what you mean by recent. I think it's probably from mid nineties or earlier.
It would be after 2002 since they talk about Cafu’s world cups.
And Greavsie was himself one of the best forwards of all time
There is no one today who could do a show like these two legends
Nobody.
Sounds like zero prep. Straight in front of the camera from lunch, love it !
Like the way Greavsie just puts Besty straight in and then picks the rest round him
Same as Matt Busby did.
That's because GEORGE BEST IS THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER in my book!
@@johnhughes8466 Agree 100%
@@johnhughes8466 There's absolutely no doubt that Bestie was the greatest UK player ever. But was he better than Pele.
That's hard to call.
George Best was the greatest player I've ever seen. These 2 played in the same era as him. They both knew how good he was.
Proper players and people, the pair of them. Relaxed, funny yet good picks. Jimmy would be in any side with Best but he’s too modest to pick himself. Glad Ian said it for him
Best was a gutless wifebeating alcoholic that was washed up at 25.
Proper footballers talking proper football, could be two guys down the pub not the over hyped shite we have to listen to today.
I could listen to them all day.
The laughing would do my head in.
@@seltaeb9691 weirdo
RIP Jimmy. Lovely to see these 2 talking about the greatest players.
Both within months of each other
Legends RIP
RIP to the pair of ya...you were part of my childhood growing up in the 1980s..
Two absolute legends. Loved their show as a kid. RIP Saint and Greavsie. Hope you're having a pint together up there somewhere. By the way, love the way they are picking a ridiculously attacking team. Brilliant.
Definitely, though that defence is rock solid too.
That team would have scored so many goals, and absolutely controlled the midfield that they wouldn't have been too worried about the defence. But what a defence they had sitting in front of Banksie. I'm fortunate that I saw many of these footballers play when I was a child. Greavsie in my opinion was England's greatest goal scorer.
I loved that programme also it was fun
Still miss St and Greavsie show every Saturday at 12:30
Saint and Greavsie were such a great combination and complement to each other.
RIP Ian St.John
MALDINI????????????? Wtf?!!!!!??
Just smiling all the way through this.
Absolutely wonderful together. Saint and Greavsie reminds me of being a kid who loved football. Wish I could have seen Jimmy play
Do you love the game now?
Real happy days. That was when football punditry was very watchable and great fun. Not like today when it gets really boring as they try to get so technical and basically are spouting rubbish!!!! RIP both Saint and Greavsie you were two very special blokes.
Love these 2. Much missed on the telly! This is quality!
RIP Jimmy, you should have put yourself in
Now showing..Live from heaven. Happy reunion, Greavsie 😔
That will be epic.
No script, just straight fun. Legends.
What a team ! Magnificent players!
The German man...that scores goals 😂
Never missed them on a Saturday morning when i was a kid. Two humble greats with a unique sense of humour. Pure entertainment.
Same
But predictable.
@@seltaeb9691 Like finding a troll on a thread.
Great listening to people who knew what they were talking about picking a wonderful team of genuine world class footballers.
Rest In Peace
Absolute legends of football and tv gold Great part of my childhood. The good old days lol
RIP Ian Saint John and the best wishes of health to Jimmy Greaves. Been supporting Spurs since they won the FA Cup in 66.
I think you'll find that was 1967 sir!!!
Everton won it 3 -2 against wednesday
Spurs never won the FA Cup in 1966 !!! Are you sure you support them ??
@@barrymay8269 Yep, beat Chelsea 2-1
Jimmy Robertson and Frank Saul for Spurs and Bobby Tambling for Chelsea.
The first All- London Cup Final in 1967
2 legends laughing, smiling and talking football. Just lovely
So much better than the dribble today. Took me back to better times . Loved it, time is stealer of great characters .
Heard about this guy from my old man, learned about his greatness today. Makes me feel like I missed an important piece of English history
2 absolute legends..... greavsy is the best striker england ever had.
Greavsie is the greatest striker that ever lived 🌟
Miss these lovely fellas very much. Hope you're having a good laugh together on the other side, lads. RIP
They will be, playing all the legends that they mentioned in this video clip.
“Banksy , you’re in ! Even with 1 eye 😂😂😂
My childhood was watching these two LEGENDS...👏👏👏👏👏
Yep, then smurffs and crimestoppers
Love these two as a kid, respect 👍
What a team can’t argue with that
Legends no other word for these 2 🙏
No debate from me John.
RIP St. John #YNWA
Great how jimmy left himself out what a honest and Proud man rip big man xx
"We might do that in 50 years time, you and I."
Loved them both, great show.
What a player, what a man, and what a commentator, his knowledge was second to non, no hipe just pure knowledge and genius
Two legends of the game I'm of a certain vintage that remember watching this show as a kid see yous on the other side gentlemen
Two legends. RIP Saint, sad loss. ☹️. Hope Greavsie is keeping well after his health problems.
Sadly not.
@@dixienormous2440 Yes, a loss. RIP Greavsie 🙁
two greats of my childhood in the 80s.. RIP S&G⚽️ 🙏 rest well gents
Jimmy Greaves what a humble gentleman, England finest goal striker would walk into any world xi. RiP 😎
They we're the best.
I miss listening to them.
R.I.P Ian St John.
👏👏👏👏👏
💖💕💟💞💝💗💗💗💜💜
The irony here - Jimmy Greaves is the greatest British striker by a country mile. Saint wasn’t joking about including him.
Second best, my friend, after Emile Heskey.
@@andrewcarson5850 . HaHa . That is funny .
I think at one point even Pele said that Greaves was the best striker on the planet after him . Greaves was an awesome goal scoring machine . Every defender in the world dreaded playing against him .

RlP Saint and Greavsie....My childhood memories of football
Magical listening to those two greats. Very sad they both passed away this year.
Many special memories of them as players and broadcasters.
Thoughts are with their families.
Those were the days. Now we have to put up with Karen Carney!
They where a hilarious double act on a saturday...RIP Saint...keep going strong greavsie...god bless
He used to smile too much 🤣
Rip Greavsie, hope you are having a good chat with Saint up there. Its a funny old game isn't it....
Loved these as a kid , did not see this episode , I think they spot on with the choice but so may great players to choose from
I can picture these two doing this up there now. Great characters, great memories. ❤
RIP to the both of you. I'm sure you are up there with all the football greats.
Neville Southall was an outstanding goalkeeper
I’d go along with that. World class was big Nev..
Yeah blinding
I wonder who they would pick today? Not sure it would change to massively.
Best football show ever
Saint and greavesy great players and great blokes.
This made me smile.
RIP saint.
Zzzzzz
Happy vibes all round, the good old days
There are so many combos of players these 2 legends could choose from.
great tv, lol just switch the camera on mate and let them blether about fitbaw, no structure just freewheeling it telly. ; )
Greaves should be in there for sure. After ‘66 and his injury, he was Englands top scorer in 1967- that says it all.
Saint and Greavsie together again.
RIP to these two legends
RIP greavise
I remember watching this at the time, probably around 1998 World Cup time, loved these guys on TV, not bad strikers either 🙏
I’m trying to work out when this is. They talk about Cafu’s 4th World Cup-which would make it as late as 2006.

Bloody legends
Greavsie was my idol at school i had his name all over my school books and satchel ..I used to occasionally get bullied at school I was the only Spurs fan there because I live in the North West . we thumped Burnley and I got a hiding but it was worth it !
2 special lads saint and Jimmy
Four who did not get a mention, Duncan Edwards, Tom Finney, Stanley Matthews and the greatest of them all, John Charles.
@ Norman Giller - Four great shouts.
Duncan Edwards should have been destined for great things, unfortunately he tragically lost his life in the Munich air crash.
This was a podcast before podcasts were podcasts….
“Would they beat MK Dons”? 😂
God, I loved this show.....simpler times.
An impossible task.
Only by breaking it down into decades could you possibly do a World's greatest X1.
Was good fun though seeing these two together.
I miss Greavsie on the telly
Great team. 2 defenders and all the rest attacking
Ian St John - "You want a Brazilian in there, what about a Scottish full-back?"
Brazil were known for being naive defensively.
No Stanley Matthews??
marco van basten, he's got 3 names😂😂
great team saint and greavsey
Them two with pat jennings best 3 aside team ever
Greavsie just makes me laugh. RIP Legend
Jimmy Johnstone should be in that team, He ripped Inter Milan apart in Lisbon 67 then a fortnight later he destroyed real Madrid in the bernabau in Di Stefano's testimonial
Ha ha ha
@Barry Smale hey he did I got the full full match as well he was really good.
George Best, Maradona, Pele, Cruyff, Puskus, Di Staffano, Beckenbauer, Moore, Cafu, Wilson, Banks.
Nice.
You forgot the manager. There can only be 1. Mr. Clough!
RIP Saint 😇
They were memories of Saturday afternoon
Brian Clough the Manager
Not so sure . I love Clough but I think that he was much better at managing up and coming players but struggled a bit with players already at the very top . I’m not sure his style of man management was suited to elite world class players . Maybe he could have adapted in time but I don’t think he would have wanted to . It was either do things his way or get out of the team . A lot of the names mentioned here definitely would not have put up with that .
Jack Charlton. They didn't ask him as they knew he'd stand no mucking about. Look what he did with Eire.
I’m astonished that Alan Rough wasn’t even considered.
Garrincha in midfield for me. Pat Jennings in goal aswell.
RIP Greavesie
Not so far this century.
Is this a later recording than when they finished their usual show in 1992? They definitely look and sound older here.
Yeah but would they beat MK Dons 😂😂😂
Marco van basten. That's three names. 😂😂😂😂😂
That's some side they put together. Would only be improved by having either of them up front...
Great stuff.. Greaves would be in for an out an out goalscorer.. 2 names not mentioned... Law.. Eusebio?!
Yes I was very surprised that they didn’t even mention Eusebio . I think they must have just forgotten him with all those other names otherwise they could well have put him in the side . I know that they both thought he was a fantastic player . I personally think he was a much better footballer than Pele although definitely not as good a striker , but more creative for sure . I wish that Saint and Greavsie had of talked about a World Squad aswell because Dennis Law probably would have got into that .
I thought Law was worth a mention. Saint must have played with him and he was awesome before the knee problems
What year was this??
I was trying to figure that out too. Saint and Greavsie only ran until 1992, but they mentioned MK Dons who weren't formed until 2004. My best guess this was a World Cup special which would make it perhaps 2006?
What did he mean by ‘used to smile too much’?
My childhood. RIP gents!!
