ThisI can’t vote on this. I really can’t. I have seen both players live over many years at the Lane. A few meters away at times enough to see the sweat rolling down their faces. There’s a cats whisker between these two. Different players, different roles. Different eras. Both world class. Both Spurs royalty. Nuff said.
The voting figures are affected because a lot of the people who would have voted Greaves over Hoddle having seen both .are no longer with us IE kaput dead. gone
Trouble is being of "That age" I can't remember everything about either of them ?to vote on this you should be of an age to have seen the whole career of both and if you have lived that long I can't think of many if any who would not choose Jimmy he was the absolute best. Hoddle was brilliant if underused by several England managers.
The thing about greaves was that he had to put up with the likes of Chopper Harris ; Banks the animal full back for bolton ; Stan Crowther whose claim to fame was he broke the legs of five players ; Jimmy Schoular whose mantra was forget about the ball and get on with the game he was a Nasty individual.
But jimmy no matter how many times tackled from behind never but never retaliated and still mostly came out on top .The man was a genius.
