I am 76 years of age and can still see that Goal against Newcastle / Leicester / Man Unt / and so on just reinforcing the view that the game is about the way you play and the glory . I dont remember that much about trophy wins except The cup winners cup Athletico Madrid / The tufa cup Anderlect and obviously the double season . What really stays in my mind is certain goals and certain games rather than the trophy wins . But what will always stay in my mind until I pop my clogs is the great Man Jimmy Geaves and all done seemingly in such a simple way.

Happy birthday Sir Jimmy. Never watched you play as I only started watching in 1981, but based on the love shown by many, the few goals I've watched in youtube, the endless stories of how cool you were, the effortless manner you scored your goals by gliding past defenders, and the record that still stands today, I have no doubt that you are indeed the greatest. Thank you Sir
