didnt get to the game but description brings back memories of the walk we used to make from edmonton n9 to the ground as kids
Love Greaves. Lad.
Two nostalgic articles while you wait for the first win though Sandy! International week must be killing you. I know it is me!

I love the old footie stories and pics. I collect as many snippets as I can from days gone by, black and white photos are my passion.
I read somewhere that Greaves is still about 20 000 Pounds short of reaching his 30000 mark for his rehab.
Surely it wont bankrupt Spurs and or Chelsea to fill in that 20000.

In that four minute clip, I think that shows why there has never been any British striker to compare to Greavsie. Simply the best even 40 years on.
Jimmy Greaves is probably the reason I support Spurs and for my money is still the best english goalscorer there has ever been.
Sandy
What is surprising watching the youtube clips is how many time Greaves finished with his left foot

Jimmy was brilliant with his left peg. It always amazes me how they say the game was slow back in the day. I haven't seen too many modern players with the speed of Greaves when he was anywhere near the penalty area. Greavsie was a one-off, and I always find it amusing how you get supporters saying, oh he wouldn't have done it today.
Sandy
IMO Jimmy would have been even better today than he was years ago. Two footed, great in the air, fast, fantastic on the ball. I dont care what anybody says if Jimmy was 25 today he would be the best goalscorer in the country just like he was then.

The target has been reached and spurs did make a donation
Didn't Jimmy Greaves score on his debut for every club he played for and for England?

Excellent news. Get well soon, Jimmy.

but the pace of the game, for sure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
That was mainly because the pitches were so much heavier, the ball was so much heavier and equipment (boots and shinpads) were nowhere near as sophisticated and the tackles were a lot more physical leaving everybody limping after about 20 minutes
Faster doesn't mean better, and never will. Too much football today involves players running around like headless chickens and not being very effective.
It always amuses me about this faster nonsense, as you say running around like headless chickens does not mean a better game, far from it.
