Amen to that. Goalscorer extraordinaire. Used to love him on The Saint & Greavesie ... so laid back !!!
What a scoring record, if we ever see a player beat his England stats we'll be lucky one of those players I'd love to have seen play live.
Jimmy Greaves: Ex-England and Spurs striker out of intensive care Ex-England and Tottenham striker Jimmy Greaves is out of intensive care after suffering a severe stroke on Sunday. His family say the 75-year-old is now able to sit up in bed. Greaves is fourth on the list of all-time England goalscorers, having netted 44 times in 57 caps and has a club-record 220 league goals for Tottenham from 1961 to 1970. Only Sir Bobby Charlton, Gary Lineker and Wayne Rooney have scored more goals for England. A statement on Tuesday from Greaves's wife Irene read: "Jimmy is having to do what he is told and understands the seriousness of what has happened. He's in the best hands." Greaves, who had a minor stroke in 2012, scored a then-club record 124 league goals for Chelsea between 1957 and 1961. He also played for AC Milan and West Ham and was part of England's 1966 World Cup-winning squad but originally missed out on a medal because he was injured during the group stage. In the 1980s he forged a new career as a football pundit on ITV, most notably alongside former Liverpool striker Ian St John on Saint and Greavsie, which ran from 1985 to 1992.
