I've seen videos of football in the 60's and it is boring as hell.
Oh so because you have seen a few video highlights of a few games in the sixties, it makes all the 60s football boring. Good to know.
Frankly with some of the dross on show today, the 60s wins hands down for entertainment. I find most modern games mind blowingly boring.

Fack me that's an impressive goal record. Never realised it was that good. But as WW said there were more goals in that era.

But HE got more than anyone then, top scorer in the league half a dozen or so times, 44 in 57 games for England!! Greatest English goal scorer ever by far!
Sandy,
believe me, Chelsea were NOT about to go bust before Abramovitch arrived, it's yet another myth put about by supporters (including those in the media) to excuse the failings of their own clubs. There were other BIG money backers waiting to buy CFC at the time too. This is from someone I met in the legal profession who was involved in tying up contractual loose ends of the deal.

Bad comparison, because when it comes to Drogba it is all about what he did in the big games for Chelsea rather than the number of goals he scored.
Did Greaves make a habit of scoring winning goals in finals for Chelsea? No!
Yours is also a silly comparison, Greaves never played in any finals for Chelsea, they were useless back then. But he still scored all of those goals in a very poor team. I would like to see how many Drogba would score in that team. He is lucky to play in a era where the top players are all playing for half a dozen teams around Europe that have all the money.

I wasn't making a comparison though
