- 1st April 1967: Following the Easter football programme, Liverpool remain in second place in Division One just 2 points behind leaders Manchester United. As the season reaches it's climax the Reds must today win at White Hart Lane against a Spurs side who have gone on a nine match unbeaten run. With England meeting Scotland in two weeks time there is an interesting side show for manager Alf Ramsey who is watching the game from the stands and has to decide whether to recall Jimmy Greaves in place of Roger Hunt for that match.

The great Jimmy Greaves.
We know Jimmy said the hepatitis affected his speed. But this was two years later and look at that change of pace for the second goal. The most naturally talented English player ever. Rest Easy Jimmy G.
Pat Jennings was the best goalkeeper in the world... What a star he was. We will never see the like of him again. It was a previlage to say I saw him play many times
Completely agree. he was the best ive seen in 50 years watching football and glad he played for Tottenham. crazy for Burkinshaw to let him go
Totally agree. People always go on and on about Gordon Banks and as good as he was Jennings had a lot more about him and was an all round better goalkeeper.
Exakt ! Ich war 1972 als deutscher Schüler in GB. Sah ihn in der alten White Hart Lane im Spiel Spurs vs Stoke (4:3). Im Tor von City stand der legendäre Gordon Banks.
First game I ever went to. Went home and saw it again on MOTD. Thanks Granda, xx
I remember Greavsie scoring direct from a corner from my childhood......but this is the first time I've seen it on film. Thanks for posting
Same here John. I was there (for once).
My first game, what a pleasure to see it again and have the memories rekindled all these years later.
Never realised Greavesie was left footed, he used to bang 'em in with either foot equally as often
Sir Alf should have chosen Greaves. Why leave a world class player out. Great striker.
Greaves decided he didnt want to play for England anymore thats why Ramsey didnt pick him. He got fed up of being picked in the squad but not playing. He only played 3 times after the 66 final and even though picked in the Euro 68 squad didnt play. Ironically he only scored 2 goals in major finals. Bobby Charlton in his England years autobiography gave him a backhanded compliment saying that in a 5/0 win Greaves would score 4 but wouldnt have a kick in a scruffy 1/0 win
sir Alf did pick Greaves for the international against Scotland in in next international.
@@dlamiss Greaves's records speak for themselves. They have stood the test of time. Bobby Charlton was full of backhanded compliments, Frank o Farrell said he was a moaner and didn't need to be as he was a world class player. Greaves wasn't the same after losing his son and then being left out of the 66 final. even though he was still prolific by 1970 the press were crying gbout for a re- call and he said that he would have gone to Mexico. who knows but the guy was a goal machine and he did his job exceptionally well
@@LordFlashheart.11 Yes he was the league top scorer in 68/9 but his form certainly dipped the following season. He was on record in saying he should have stayed at Tottenham
@@dlamiss But Jim would score the goal in the 1-0 win :)
Roger Hunt was a really fast number 9 & did a great Job for the Scousers( scored plenty of goals) ,but he wasn't Sir Jimmy Greaves, JG was operating at a different level!
I was probably in the Paxton Rd stand with my dad that day. 8/4d tickets. Hard wooden flop down seats.
Greaves the greatest!
Corners at the end of the game and Spurs played as if they were a goal behind..so much for coaching in the day.
The days of no time wasting
Tommy Lawrence always reminded me of Tommy Cooper. And vice versa. And Tommy Cooper always reminded me of Tommy Lawrence. And vice versa. And Tommy Lawrence always reminded me of Tommy Cooper.
