No Saint but Godlike on a football pitch.

Watching the 4 minute video I wish I'd been old enough to go to the football in Jimmy's day.

He is without a doubt he greatest goal scorer I have seen.

Simply the best, most lethal goalscorer that I have ever seen. He would be worth 200 million today.

Second best to no one. Though played in a totally different era, it is all relative. My Uncle took me toe WHL and i watched him destroy Liverpool that day single handily. At his best no one could touch him, and overall not the most gifted of footballers but certainly the most lethal.

You are right it was a different era, having said that I would like to see todays super stars play on pitches that usually looked like ploughed fields and ankle deep in mud.

And without the protection of the new rules on tackling.
He would have scored even more freely today.
Would have driven the bus away and slotted it home.
Prefer modern conditions as it gives the artists freedom to play.
The greatest.
But then I would say that wouldn't I.

Is it weird that, as someone who started supporting Spurs in 1990, Greaves was a hero to me? Obviously never saw him live, or even more than a handful of videos, but what I saw, along with what I read about him, built up an impression of him in my mind that has always stayed with me.

 

[TheChosenOne]

I was one of the fortunate ones to see JPG on numerous occasions in his heyday.

More importantly he was the player who every lad I knew pretended to be when playing on the parks and the side streets of the 1960''s

Could not agree more

 

[Roynie]

My favourite player of all time. I was lucky enough to see him play a couple of time live and loads on the box. The last goal on the vid was against Man U and is my favourite goal of his. He was known as the cheeky chappie for good reason, just pure genius on the pitch.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Watched him play and knew him back in the '60s. No doubt about his ability and not just as a goal-scorer. He was a natural athlete with great positional sense and skill and certainly was not just a goal-poacher.

He also played tennis and cricket as hobbies and he was amazing to watch and imo could have played either at a professional level. Not a bad rally driver either.
