Rochdale fan passing through, just want to say Jimmy in my opinion was the greatest English striker ever . his record proves that. But after he beat his demons, he became a wonderful broadcaster. And farewell jimmy. You belong amongst the greatest.
I'm Scottish spurs daft from Dundee and would agree with that all day. #deefiant #deesire #coys

All love you💓💓⚽⚽
Just 3 Minutes? We need a 3 hour movie or we riot
2:15 “I want to have a kickabout”
Made me feel so bad ✋😭
With the greatest respect, a lump in my throat and absolute Pride in my heart, Mr. Jimmy Greaves, RiP, you've always been a legendary footballer hero of mine, since I was a child and born in to the Tottenham Hotspur supporters fan base.
So with all my heart, Thank you for the memories, we love you Jim, so again Thank you Mr Jiimmy (Greavesy) Greaves MBE. 🙏🏻
COYS
I was only old enough to remember to Jimmy during the Saint n Greavsie days. I'll always remember him saying coming down into Burnley you couldn't see it, the smog only went away once every 10 years. You'll meet many a Burnley fan, my dad included, who would tell you that Jimmy was the greatest player they ever saw. I've been watching many a video of Jimmy in his heyday these past couple of days, a lump in my throat at his passing, one of the last great links of football from an increasingly bygone era. May the world never forget you Jimmy, a true genius of the art of football, to so many, the best. Rest in peace.
The greatest and best goal scorer ever. Left foot, right foot, header, dribble. How many players can do that today?
The greatest player to wear a Tottenham Hotspur shirt. The one and only Jimmy Greaves. LEGEND forever.

my dad told me that he mailed spurs a dollar to make him the first 100,000 i still remember it to this day well he's the finish player who ever played for Tottenham and one of the best in the world RIP Legend
I'm italian bit I support spurs and I think that there aren't never other legends like him. Harry kane is my favorite football player but I think that he never could beat jimmy even if I hope harry will do it
Rest in Peace the Goat Of football
Jimmy Greaves... The greatest spurs player of all time. The reason I supported Tottenham in the 1960s. RIP... Legend!!
@@barclayfleming.7776 cheeky Jimmy.
What makes a man great is not just success in his chosen field, but battling his demons and winning.. greaves’s demon was drink, beat it and came back as an hilariously funny broadcaster on saint and greavesy, with his wonderful wit and humour.. that’s a truly great man❤💪🏽
We all love you legend. Tottenham will never forget you. R.I.P.
From a Dundee and Dundee utd fan, that are spurs fans from kids..
"you and the glance are
Reunited" rip the g men
⚽⚽⚽🙏🙏
The most goal (266) for Spurs, the most goal(357) in England football league first division
RIP, True Legend🙏
More goals than shearer!
Jimmy Greaves sad passing has to be remembered by me. I began supporting Spurs around the time of the double. Without question Jimmy Greaves is the greatest goal scorer ever. In those days defenders were allowed to tackle from behind. Footballers like Greaves were physically assaulted every game with one horrific tackle after another. Greaves would have two, three even four opposing players focused on putting him out of the game. Only Pele, I remember got treated in the same way. This focus on Greaves created goal scoring opportunities for other players in the team in particular the wily Alan Gilzean.
Very few of Greaves matches were ever filmed. The goal shown against Manchester United in the video is rare footage. The way he discards maybe half the United team on his mazy run-on goal to score so effortlessly was typical Greaves. He rarely played in perfect conditions like today’s footballers. Sun dried and hard, or a rain sodden quagmire, or snow-covered frozen pitches were pretty much the norm. With a ball that got heavier as it got wetter.
The great European and South American players were and are playing in less competitive easier leagues than he was. For them many softer games with easy scoring opportunities. Without question George Best, Pele and Di Stefano were breath-taking footballers of his generation and playing time. Of today’s footballers Messi and Ronaldo obviously come to mind but would they have been able to go back in time and score as freely as Greaves did in the conditions. We can only speculate but surely Jimmy would have been able to come forward into the easier playing conditions of today and still score more goals than anyone else - would he have doubled the amount? We’ll never know.
Has there been a better goal scorer than Jimmy Greaves in the history of the game in their prime? At his best he seemed to float through games absolutely on another level. At 25 years of age, he lost maybe a year with hepatitis and the recovery from it. This probably cost him a yard in pace. But still he kept scoring. At 31 he had retired. Ronaldo has only recently broken one of his records at age 35. The sign of greatness is when it is made to look so easy you think you can do it. Jimmy Greaves made the game look that easy. He was a footballing genius the like of which we are unlikely to see again.
Rip legend 🙏💔😢
Truly a legend. Internationally, he’s right up there with other great left footers with astounding skills: Puskas and Maradona.
Pele was mainly right footed. Though, I do remember him scoring a left footed screamer for Santos. If only I could find the vision of that. It was a corker of a goal!
The Greatest striker the world has ever known.
What a club we used to be. Teams that Played with determination and pride. Winning mentality and played for each other and for the badge.
This is a man who deserves the title of legend, more so than all these current-time primadonnas who claim to be footballers.
Excellence through humility. RIP you legend, heaven has a new hero.
shame that the team yesterday didnt show the level of desire, commitment and skill that Greavsie always did, but then you have to be born with a winning mentality, not have it coached into you..
A truly inspirational man never to be forgotten. RIP Greavsie
People talk about this persons the goat, that persons the goat, look at his numbers. Absolute legend! R.I.P. “the goat”.
Tears in my eyes, we will never see his like again RIP Greavsie
R. I. P Greavsey... Quite simply a goalscoring phenomenon... His goal/game ratio for club or country is just mind-blowing.. Stunning striker.. Goodbye legend.. YNWA
@@barclayfleming.7776 yeah I know.. Totally amazing
The greatest British striker and goalscorer of all time, you can't dispute all of his records. Sublime to watch and what's even better is that he was a Spurs old boy. A statue needs to be put at the entrance to the new ground ASAP.
Pure Magic!!
RIP The Legend🙏😇, and wish Son can became like Him
Always remembered, never forgotten. Spurs' finest 💙
Rip 🪦 legand
R.I.P, A true club legend. ❤️🤍💙🖤
His name will live and be remembered for exactly who and what he was.. Brilliant
RESPECT ✊ From CHELSEA fan here
Jimmy is and always will be held in such high regard by both our clubs. There are times when rivalries should become meaningless, Tottenham and Chelsea supporters can honour the truly wonderful footballer and man that was Jimmy Greaves Greaves together
I do not have the words. What an exceptional man.
I choose to think of his passing as a relief.
Who is peeling onions? wow, a wonderful tribute to THE greatest ever player to put on the Spurs shirt...RiP Legend

@Arista Guani🌹 I mean he or she
@@NLdave99 thank you for telling me.. it's so nice to meet you.. you are a spurs right
@@NLdave99 Guess am I a boy or a girl
Never got to see him play,but my grandad told me stories of how great he was. RIP spurs legend 👍❤
I only wished we could’ve pay tribute to our greatest player by winning against Chelsea.
He's a Chelsea legend too. Although he's more of a Spurs legend
Agreed. But, Chelsea paid their tribute by playing winning us though.
I was about to say this
Me too but let's not forget he's also a hero for Chelsea. Their supporters probably wanted them to do it for him too. I just think ir's nice to put aside the rivalries and pay tribute to someone loved by both clubs together.
I Hope he’s enjoying a pint in heaven with his best mate Ian St John. RIP 💙

I hope the two of them are watching football together all the while Jimmy saying "it's a funny old game Saint, it's a funny old game"
RIP Jimmy Greaves the greatest player ever
I grew up watching Jimmy Greaves, Dennis Law. Best. Eusebio. Bobby Moore. Pelè described Greaves as "the most naturally gifted footballer I've ever seen"
Puskàs. Bobby Charlton. They played very oftern on heavy muddy grounds, with soaking wet footballs & still managed pure magic.
A top player and top bloke. He will be sorely missed!
True legend for both club and country 💙 RIP
Never saw you play buy ill miss jimmy my dad told me the storys and then i watched him on tv ,feels like world is poorer without him rip jimmy from ireland ! From a lifetime spurs fan
Jimmy will never be forgotten. Not only a Spurs and England legend, but a football legend 💙
RIP Jimmy we all loved you, new and old fans.
Beautifully put together video and a wonderful tribute to our greatest ever player.
Never got the chance to watch Jimmy play myself but my youth was full of stories from my family about his brilliance and his importance to our club.
He must never be forgotten. Rip Jimmy. COYS!
R.I.P
You will ever be remembered
An emotional moment spurs greatest player wish him the best up there RIP MR LEGEND WE MISS YOU Jimmy greaves
R.I.P LEGEND 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕯️🕯️
The greatest player to ever wear the shirt.
My father was there for all those games in the 60’s and had deep affection for many of the players on that great team. Mackay, Blanchflower, Cliff Jones, John White, to name a few.
But none compared to the awe and reverence in his voice when he spoke of Greaves. He idolised him. It wasn’t just his incredible goal scoring ability, his intelligence and flair on the pitch, but his charm and aura off the pitch as well.
Rest well Jimmy. I’m sad I never got to see you in your heyday but your memories and legend live on forever. 💙
He was my schoolboy hero. RIP Gentleman Jim.
A true hero and Spurs and England greatest player
RIP jimmy we love you
Great player we lost yesterday all my wishes to you. Rip Jimmy greaves
RIP LEGEND! From everyone I’ve spoken to who had the chance to watch him back in the 60s, I hear incredible things.
God bless you Jimmy, R.I.P.
I grew up with you as my childhood hero and that continues to this, the saddest of all days.
I have the distinction to be a distant relative (although I’m probably closer related to god’s dog). It was always an honour to hear my older family members refer to “cousin Jimmy”.
You are and always will be the spirit of ‘the Lane’. Thanks for the memories, Al. COYS 😢😢😢😢😢
Rip legend
He was a Hero and now he is a legend....
R. I. P.
Hopefully now we’ll remember a pre premier league era that seems to have been bizarrely erased. Jimmy’s records stand alone and should never be forgotten. Top flight means top flight
great little tribute. loving the content fr
How could you dislike this? Rip Jimmy greaves. You will be missed.
Rip grevesy he will be missed
