Please don't look on this thread as a negative to the club, I'm just highlighting what a great and I mean great player Jimmy was. The word world class is often used on English players but not in Greavsies case. Peter Kitchen was my idol growing up until the rovers sold him and that's why I follow the orient.

I wonder, had Greavsy been born 50 years later, if he would have still been as great, because he was amazing.
During his time, defenders wernt very good footballers, whereas now, they are, at the top level.
Kane is a different type of striker to Greaves.
Both are/were fantastic goalscorers, and either at Orient would seal our promotion without doubt, because its the lack of goalscoring ability thats got me worried at the moment
"Had Greaves been born 50 years later would he still have been as great?" Come on, come on, you must know that that is not even relevant..

Greaves would get bollocked for not tracking back and defending today
Yes, he would never be picked today because all he did was score goals

Kane a boring, boring person. Greaves, great player, sorted out a drink problem, worked a real job after football. So Jimmy all day !

Kane, is kind of boring, Greaves' played in a time when you could tackle, bad pitches, and had a drink issue. Like saying a wet fart is a turd.
