    Grew up watching Saint and Greavsie, as a young lad it was hard to imagine either being a legend of the game. But with age you look back at old game clips and stats, he was a proper legend of the game.

    RIP

    What a great goal scorer he was. Class act on the pitch.

    So sad to hear another of our world cup squad of 66 gone.

    RIP Jimmy.

    RIP.

    I saw him play a couple of times for Barnet in the twilight of his career in the 70's. Iirc they used him in Midfield but you could see he was a class above his team mates.

    Such a shame. Absolutely deadly in front of goal and a true character off the pitch. RIP.

    A Spurs friend summed Him up well on Facebook

    "I never see him play or met him, but I know what I had said to me in the Ground re different Spurs strikers I’ve watched over a number of years  - “He’s good but He’s No Jimmy Greaves”. That comes from older fella’s whose opinion’s I can only respect."

    England’s greatest striker.

    Enjoyed Saint & Greavsie (albeit less so after they criticised Carl Leaburn)

    RIP
