I thought I'd start a new thread for this in case people miss it. There's a campaign for Jimmy to be recognised as the great player he was. Please sign this petition.

I signed it, but given that it's Iain Duncan-Smith and the Daily Heil behind this I can't help thinking it's a ruse to get Jimmy G back to work.

Signed, and it's going well. Almost 8000 now.

I shared it with the Colorado Spurs Supporters club, and asked members to share it with other supporters groups over here!

Agree what a talented player he was. Imagine him nowadays against packed defences.
His Greavsie program was on BT 2 the other night as well. Recorded it so I can watch it in awe often,

Should have happened a long time ago and to get the lowest ranked honour is almost insulting. I mean Frank Lampard and Ally McCoist have OBEs, ffs.

At last he's had some recognition. He was my boyhood hero and although I watched players like Hoddle and everyone that came later, Greavsie will still be one of the best I have ever seen. Shit, I even forgave him for going to that mob at Upton Park

When I was in the RAF, the OBE was known as "Other Bastards Efforts" because they were handed out to old farts who had been in for years and had it awarded it at the end of their careers based only on how good the people under them had performed, not on what they had done.

It's weird that Greeves and Hamilton are being knighted. I'm not sure why it takes so long for one and not another. Long overdue for Jimmy but congrats to the legend!
