    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.

    Fantastic player, very intelligent and witty man. A one off. Saint and Greavsie was staple viewing for me when I was a kid.

    There's so little of Saint & Greavsie's programmes on U-Tube, why?

    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!)

    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.
