RIP Jimmy. A great player in his era.

[Bergen]

Very sad.

RIP Mr. Greaves

[EastDerehamO]

A natural goalscorer, only really remember him at the very back end of his career way past his best, but used to enjoy his TV work, especially Saint & Greavsie.

R.I.P Jimmy, a true legend.

[Clive Evans]

he scored 124 goals for Chelsea at the start of his career.

[Give it to Jabo]

Legend indeed. Love the story about him climbing over the embassy wall and asking his great friend:”What have you done with bracelet, Mooro?” Very sad and I him sure his last years were a real struggle. Glad that Harry Kane visited him. Will be emotional at Spurs today.

[cymruO]

Can remember Jimmy Greaves back at the start of his career. An amazing goal scorer by even today's standards. My thoughts and prayers for his family.

R.I.P. Jimmy.
A true great of the game.
Went to his testimonial v Feyenoord in 1972. Inevitably Greavsie scored the first goal.
Not sure he ever got over the disappointment of missing out on the World Cup Final in '66.

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

Died on the day of Spurs v Chelsea too - he's going to get an amazing send off today.

[Chief crazy horse]

One of the greatest goal machines in the history of the game.

[EliotNes]

The Greatest

Another boyhood hero goes to the great changing room in the heavenly stadium

RIP Jimmy

[Jack]

Great great player in his prime. Very few English players were considered good enough to play in Italy, in the 60,s, but Jimmy did.

One of the all time greats

RIP

[banqo]

One of the best footballers I've ever seen. Also my claim to fame was he stood next me at a urinal in The Tiger Tavern near Tower Bridge in the 70's!! RIP Jimmy.

[RedDwarf 1881]

One of the all time greats and true England legend .RIP Jimmy.

[Simple Man]

Didn't take long for Saint and Greavsie to be reunited.

RIP both of you.

[banqo]

RIP Jimmy, a real legend if the game. Used to buy my football kit from his jointly owned shop at Chingford Mount.

Greaves and Penn in New Road, Chingford.

[Chicken Dhansak]

Fabulous player, I can clearly remember the way he would dribble around defenders like they were rooted to the spot. Once seen
never forgotten.

RIP Greavesie.

[Beradogs]

He mumbled a lot and spoke very few words of English, said Jimmy.

[faldO]

Never saw him play but his record and status among his fellow professionals past and present speaks for itself. Used to love the Saints and Greavsie show.

RIP.
