Oh, right, so we're down to spotting him out on wheels with his sons, then. Either way, he's still talking a good fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted May 25, 2016 JimmyGreaves.net added 5 new photos. 22 mins · We are visiting Jimmy at the weekend . If you tweet or message for him I will show him on Saturday. He's still fighting but it's over a year since the stroke and he's not really any better despite his and our best efforts. We love him and we know so many of you do. Thanks for the messages of goodwill for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted June 9, 2016 Former Spurs stalwart, and Greaves mucker whilst at Chelsea, johnny Brooks dead at 84 http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/obituary-johnny-brooks-080616/ Hopefully reminds him of his mortality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted March 1, 2017 Potential form checking on the horizon.Madrid at home to Las Palmas.... Ronaldo is a greedy bugger re records and needs a hattrick to equal a Greaves scoring record. 4 to beat it. 5/1 the hattrick...As soon as the record goes its a cinch an interview of some sort...

I think, elsewhere on here, there is a link to an Ian St John article in which he states that Greaves is in no position whatsoever to see him due to his current state. He isnt going to get better.

charon 4,943 Posted March 1, 2017 Pressers will still try with a 50+ year record going tits up.... What record was it LFN ? I just heard League but not sure what criteria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just heard League but not sure what criteria. Its about the amount of goals scored across more than one major league. Greaves hit 366 in The old First division and Serie A and Ronaldo is doing it in Spain and before that Portugal and England. I suppose Greaves should be an idol to me but Ive found him to be a prickly old cunt, a curmudgeon who seemed to be a bit short with people and the like. Apart from his Saint and Greavsie days ive not warmed to the man like some pros. I mean, I should hate Paul Merson but id have a pint with him, he says what most people think, sometimes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted March 1, 2017 Hmmm. England and Portugal as Major Leagues.... Denis Law scored more than that, depending on Huddersfield and if in top flight at the time, and Gerd more than all. MLS..."major".... And Lewandosky might eclipse them all, still only 28... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted March 2, 2017 Ronaldo scored 2 btw , so record will be his in next week... Then we may get a Greaves update... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted July 7, 2017 Well, today, he was invited to have lunch with the current manager, Pochettino, and some other Spurs legends of his day and later. He does look like a person that 'could go at any minute' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, looking good. Yes its Gilzean. He spent decades away from the club and has only reappeared this year. I think that may have something to do with Greaves condition and the 'life is too short' thing. Second from the left is the welsh wizard Cliff Jones who at 82 looks very well indeed and having seen him on numerous ocassions WALKING up Bill Nicholson Way into the ground I can tell you he is very slight, about 5ft 5 and bloody brilliant. As unassuming as they come, proper old school and loved by the supporters, long may he live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
