The Drama of Jimmy Greaves, His Children Now Break Silence

[@KeithMather-r4g]

As a 75 year old Scot, I remember Jimmy Greaves with fondness, and okay, he wasn't perfect, but who is, all I know is Jimmy Greaves was a magnificent footballer, one of the best this country has ever seen, and in life, despite his faults, he was a lovely man, and a thoroughly decent human being, and that's good enough for me ! 😢💔🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@robertlangley1664]

Jimmy was my boyhood hero when I played football for my school I tried to play like Jimmy,he maybe gone but he’s still my football hero RIP JIMMY YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN

[@peteworthy8322]

We all know about his battle against alcoholism. No secrets. Great man, and much loved!

[@colinwood3718]

Whos this man talking about the greatest goal scorer of all time bar none never be another like him 45 goals in54 games for England how many goals would be have score of he had played 100 games like some of these other so called strikers his average will never be beaten

Even though I'm an Arsenal fan, always loved Jimmy Greaves. Easily one of England's all time greats.

[@cheetham1982]

When is his children going to break their silence as promised? These lying pieces should be banned, or prosecuted.

[@iainjohnston788]

As a wee boy living in a Glasgow housing scheme Jimmy Greaves was a god to me , I tried to play like him, mom bought me a white football top ( replica strips were still a dream ) and I would make a number eight out of black tape and stick it on to the back of it just so as I could look more like my hero - Jimmy Greaves .

[@davidpsyesbroabigholemcrob2890]

Amazing footballer. My childhood hero as well. Living in Northern Ireland the English league was a great distraction from the mayhem the of the” troubles” in the 70S especially for many young lads . Spurs were and still are my team and I’ve still great memories of Jimmy gliding gloriously across White Hart Lane and some of the goals he scored .In Oct 1984 on my honeymoon I went to the Lane for the first time with my new wife and met Glenn Hoddle and Ray Clements. Great atmosphere as they entertained Liverpool but unfortunately lost 0-1 that day .I really would’ve loved to have met Jimmy as he was just special. Still a Spurs man through and through and my wife and I still remember with fondness those great days.

[@donaldreynolds1694]

I was a teenager of the 70’s and a gang of us would play in a wire fenced tarmacked area we called ‘The Wreck’. Sawyers Close Windsor. You wouldn’t believe the great players that played there, each of us were our favourite idol; a lad called Mark Abbot who supported Tottenham was Jimmy Greaves and on scoring would shout “Jimmy Greaves !!!” I was George Best by the way. Memories of times and stars who have sadly passed away when the final whistle blew - but will aways live on in the memories of those young lads who are now in their 60’s getting close or even in their 70’s. R.I.P. JIMMY GREAVES One of the all time GREATS OF BRITISH FOOTBALL 🙏👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@vespasian606]

Jimmy on the pitch was great. Even that final season at West Ham had it's moments. I think the problem was that he'd always hit the heights no matter what was going on elsewhere. Hardly the motivation to take a closer look at your diet/lifestyle. I often wonder what a 31 year old Jimmy could have done in the middle of the pitch. No doubt about it he quit too soon. RIP Mr Greaves.

If he had looked after himself maybe England could have gone on to win the World Cup again in 1970. He would have only been 30 years old

[@Treviscoe]

Alf Ramsey made the right decision for the 1966 WC final. Yes it was tough on Jimmy but Geoff Hurst (who replaced him) was on fire in that match. It's too bad they couldn't have played alongside each other - what a final that would have been.

[@Andrew-e4m]

Legend,say no more.

[@DeniseFactor]

What, he EVEN scored in the FA Youth cup final!. Wow, nothing will ever trump that.

[@raphaelrau1728]

Why the bot voice over?! Sounds stupid! Nearly as bad as Dick Van Dyke! Jimmy Greaves was a brilliant striker! Brilliant and prolific! Scored on his debut for every team! A legend who deserves more respect than this! At Barnet he scored the best goal never filmed. Scoring a header defending his own corner. The ball going the entire length of the pitch! Amazing. RIP great man from a die hard Gooner!

[@Edith-t4j]

Jimmy and Alan Gilzean a formidable combo.

[@Paul-z2l]

If Jimmy had been fit for the final it wouldn’t have gone to extra time, w3 wouldn’t have been shown the goal that obviously wasn’t by Hurst, the game would have been put to bed by Jimmy in normal time.

[@timferriss905]

When I was around 7 I used to score 5-6 goals first half and my teacher mr heath Oates would swap me to the other side and I would score as many as I could to win or draw. I saw jimmy when I was 7 years old. My brother in law took me to watch Leicester city v spurs. I’ve been a spurs fan ever since. But jimmy was so special what a player. Drink is is the downfall of lots of men. If you can beat it your stronger than me.

[@tommyrocket2604]

Contrary to what is said in this video, he did not get injured in the 1966 world cup. The reason he did not play was because the England Manager Alf Ramsey for some unknown reason decided not to select him preferring instead Roger Hunt and Alan Ball, which in my opinion was one of the greatest sporting travesties!

[@Lord_Hillcrest02]

That's incorrect . He was injured .
