A funny, warm and as we know, a resilient human being. Dug himself out of alcoholism and rebuilt his life in TV entertainment. He put a smile back on the face of football during the 1980s when it needed it. The man was pure gold. RIP.
Garrincha adopted the dog and named it Yimmie Greaves. When it died Garrincha had it stuffed. When Garrincha died he left the stuff dog to Jimmie in his will. It's now in Salford at the Football Hall of Fame.
I heard that garincha kept the dog as well believe it or not and not only that but garincha kept the dog !! Im not sure I believe but thats what I heard and not only that but you know the dog that they were on about ? Well the story goes that garincha....
Affectionate? you had me being sodomized by a horse!' If I was Jimmy I'd have that on my headstone. In fact, bugger it. I'm going to have that a quote on my headstone anyway!!!!

Lovely man I know people who were in hospital with him when he had treatment- all say great guy
Jimmy Greaves... an absolute legend. A truly unique one-off. RIP Jim. A Gunner.
I admire anyone who can have folks take the piss and not bother about it. R I P sir Jim 🙏🙏
Fantastic player, very intelligent and witty man. A one off. Saint and Greavsie was staple viewing for me when I was a kid.
‘Affectionate?!! You had me being sodomized by a horse!’ 😂 Top Delivery Jimmy
Jimmy was a good sport. I'll miss him.
Best English striker ever. Not many better overseas, to be fair.
There's so little of Saint & Greavsie's programmes on U-Tube, why?
Jimmy Greaves is brilliant.
Greavsie. A top top top striker and later on proved so many times how funny he was (giving and taking - no pun about the horse!)
Jimmy Greaves, fantastic player and comedy genius.
RIP Jimmy. Legend
Marvelous sense of humour, such a sport - Legend ! Oh, he was a great striker too apparently

England's best ever goal scorer. Pity he didn't get more caps than he deserved. Div 1 top goalscorer in 67 - 8 and not picked!!
RIP Jimmy :(

"Hey, Jimmy, I'll bet that wasn't the last time u went home smelling of piss, eh?" - LOL!!
@Gianluca Badejo Skinner knew what he was talking about, he's a reformed alcoholic too.
Has anyone got the Greavies Gaff intro from this song?
can somebody explain the 'bet this wasn't the last time u went home smelling of piss' line for me please?
Sam Aalty - he was an alcoholic. He said he had five years of his life that he can't remember at all.
In answer to your request of 9 years ago, Jimmy Greaves had previously battled alcoholism.
@@flippingo He waited so long that Sam Alty is now an alcoholic himself
Affectionate? you had me being sodomized by a horse!' If I was Jimmy I'd have that on my headstone. In fact, bugger it. I'm going to have that a quote on my headstone anyway!!!!
