Nobby Stiles was definitely the most unwise drop from last year's list. The Queen being the wisest choice to drop. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuffaloPhil 933 Posted March 31, 2019 Pity Sir Jim wasn't up to attending the legends game at the new Spurs stadium yesterday. If someone like Sebastian Bassong can be included as a Legend for Spurs, they need a few more levels above that for Greavsie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tough to be a gamer with hemiplegia, I would think, but the chair would certainly be a step up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,347 Posted December 30, 2019 A film about Jimmy Greaves premiering in February next year. Also a bit of grumbling and dismay on social media that Jimmy still hasn't been recognized by the honours system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you've seen the trailers for the new documentary on BT next week, it looks like a wake. Lots of red eyed folk talking past tense. I'd completely forgotten they'd taken him off the bloody list too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
