44 in 57 and no penalties that is an outstanding achievement 💚⚽️
Great striker rip he's stroke done him but legend x
@Tom Smith ~ and with a 0.77 goal to game ratio better than Rooney, Charlton and Lineker above him in the all time list.....
..and let's not forget his 6 hattricks ( still a record) two of which were four baggers ( still another record )......and scoring on all his professional debuts; Chelsea, AC Milan, Spurs, West Ham...and England.
Quite simply the greatest goalscorer this country has ever produced.
To be fair, a lot of those goals
were against not very good opposition - 10 against Northern Ireland e.g.
@@cerneuffington2656 and to be fair to greaves that’s how most top scorers since then and including today get huge goal tallies. He still got goals against the big countries and didn’t take penalties, his goal record is outstanding
Only the one goal in 7 World Cup finals matches.
You can see Tyler was really struggling there to stay composed. I imagine all the memories of working with him at ITV really came flooding back
l actually wonder how long martin tyler has got...He's an old man now, and is not the commentator he was
he's a see you next thursday. rip jimmy
@@nikreece6295 needs to retire. The game has passed him by.
Saint and greavesy were part of my football education, he was a class act. RIP Jimmy
Died without months of each other. Back together again though now for a light-hearted discussion on the game.
Rip another one of the ‘66 boys gone
As an American, I’ve been an English Football fan since 2010, you occasionally hear the name Jimmy Greaves, but after the sad news this morning, I started to research this incredible mans career.
Just mind blowing.
I would like to read his autobiography
“Greavsie”. I’m sure it will be a great read.
RIP Mr Greaves
Read it, you wont be disappointed, the man was a legend
I second the above. It's a great read.
Greaves scored a record 366 goals. Until recently, this was the most in goals in European football history and stood the test of time for 46 years. This was broken only in 2017 by Cristiano Ronaldo. The greatest English striker of all time.
Plus the fact his career in the top flight was only 8 years. Ronaldo was in La Liga for 9, and his career has been going on since 03, so approx. 18 years. True legend of the game, and incredibly underrated.
One of the greatest strikers England ever produced along with Bobby Charlton. What an era that time *really* was
Great footballer great man from millwall boys
Dixie Dean is the greatest English striker of all time
@@johnross4185 Jimmy all the way mate
Best EVER English goalscorer, made difficult goals look easy. So calm in front of goal, whatever the situation. So classy and I saw him LIVE.
Only those who saw him play and I did hundreds of times home and away for the lilywhites, know just how great a player he was. Playing in two inches of mud and frozen pitches and a era of the game when defenders could kick you up in the air. He managed to drift pass players, wrong foot defenders. Just pure genius of a player. RIP the greatest player ever.
For me Jimmy Greaves has to be the greatest goal scorer England ever produced. The fact that none of his goals were penalties seals it for me. Arguably one of the greatest goal scorers in history full stop.
The greatest was Gerd Muller, then I'd choose Romario, then maybe Greaves.
Rip there will never be another one like him!
So sad to lose Jimmy Greaves, a true icon of football, the complete goalscorer and an amazing character on and off the pitch. He is certainly in a better place.
Jimmy, hope you meet up with your sidekick and great pal Ian St John and entertain them up there in heaven, RIP.
People like to throw stats around nowadays. Half the modern day players wouldn’t get anywhere close to Jimmy’s figures had they played back then. They’d get booted up in the air once and that’d be it, broken for life. Jimmy had the heart of a lion, just got on with it and hit teams where it really hurt; scoring goals and winning games. Incredible footballer, one of England’s best ever. Won’t ever be forgotten by England fans for everything he did for this nation. Should really be a statue at Wembley in all honesty.
Well Said.....He was my all time Favourite Player
England's best ever striker bar none. My condolences to his family. RIP
Greatest striker in English football history full stop .And more importantly a lovely human being .
Lovely tribute from Martin Tyler, Jimmy Greaves was a class act RIP
One of the best players there has ever been. From a neutral. And it's nothing to do with Jimmy scoring against Spurs for Chelsea and allowing Burnley to win the league. Martin Tyler: top man.
watch jimmy play many times .I am an arsenal fan and I loved watching this man play .R I P Jimmy .
Jimmy was a genius in everything he did.
My Dad moved to London to go to university from Wales was home sick and went to White Hart Lane to watch Spurs play cost him 20p and he saw Jimmy score a Hat-trick which he will never forget and made him feel better and has stayed in England ever since, RIP Jimmy the best there ever was should have been Sir Jimmy 😢
Good bless Jimmy, one of England's best ever strikers yet never got the recognition ....from an Irish Scouser....
He got the recognition from the fans my friend!! And that says it all!! From a southern manc!!!
One of the greatest strikers and raconteurs, a wonderful spirit .
R.I.P Jimmy Greaves.
RIP Jimmy Greaves.
An absolutely legendary player.
2021 took both him and Ian St John.
I will be watching Saint & Greavsie clips in tribute.
Both Greavsie and Saint were not only great footballers (though Saint being nowhere near Jimmy and I'm a Liverpool fan) but great characters and entertainers on and off the field. They played and LIVED with a smile on their face and obviously had a LOT of fun from the stories they tell. Stark contrast with today's press groomed 'stars' who um and erm their way through pointless and dull interviews. Saint and Greavsie talked honestly about EVERYTHING. A friend of mine met Jimmy at an event about 15 years ago and asked about S&G coming back and Jim said that they'd never be allowed back because you can't tell the truth these days in case it upsets someone.
Best striker by miles different league as a striker natural goalscorer then some sleep tight Jimmy we are miss u mate 😭😭
Arsenal fan, but what a player Jimmy was. Remember him playing for the Chelsea youth team against Arsenal in the early 60’s and some of the many great goals he scored for Spurs. RIP Jimmy.
When you think of the state of some of the pitches Jimmy Greaves played on in those days and the way he skipped around defenders with such ease is remarkable.
He was the greatest ever goal scorer in my mind.
Saint and Greavsie was my favourite show on Saturday mornings combining sport and humour Still watch replays in TH-cam RIP Greavsie thanks for the memories
Rip what a legend ❤️❤️
Rip jimmy an absolute legend of the game.
NO HE'S THE GREATEST PLAYER SPURS HAVE EVER HAD COYS
Chelsea and spurs* 🤝
That’s more debatable. Dave McKay, Danny Blanchflower, Ossie Ardilles, and Glenn Hoddle are all in the conversation there. Also I think it’s debatable about Chelsea as well but he is imo the greatest English post war goal scorer!
He's up there But The likes of Mckay, Blanchflower and hoddle are too
sums it up...you had players we had teams😉 from a gooner
Bale was unreal aswell laugh all you want lol
Martin Tyler could tell me BeBe was Manchester United’s best signing and I would believe him. Love hearing Martin Tyler speak!
A great honest interview this. I was welling up.
Great player. What a record. But just remember watching Saint and Greavsie every Saturday. Fantastic, The Saint crying laughing. Thanks to both of you . Rest in Peace.
Truly the greatest goal poacher I was lucky enough to see. Such sad news.
RIP
Great tribute to the incomparable Jimmy Greaves
Bye Jimmy. We all loved you immensely.
So sad.
A neutral here-I saw Jimmy Greaves playing for Spurs and i was in the Paxton Road end (away) for the match against Leicester in 1968. It is said that his greatest goal came in that game. Greavesie was the best striker ever and probably the best footballer ever too.
Sir Jimmy, a legend! Rest in peace
He was a good player. My dad use to say he was brilliant.
RIP, what a player
Rip 🪦 jimmy greatest footballer England ever had
So apt that we can all remember, with such fondness, Jimmy at the Spurs - Chelsea game today. I have supported Spurs since their win at the 1967 FA cup Final - Come on Jimmy!
Mate i come from a family that is mental about everything Liverpool. But my memories as a kid, was wanting to know who this jimmie grieves was because my Dad would bang on about him and at the time it annoyed me because i knew my Dad was a liverpool fan, so why was he talking about this Spurs/Chelsea legend like he loved him. I think this is why i turned into a football historian, all thanks to the likes of Jimmie Grieves, Emlin Hughs, Tommy Smith, King Kenny and many more.
@@2TenRLiverpool has always brought passion and excellence to this beautiful game
Cheers Jimmy😔. RIP
Jimmy was the greatest English striker to kick a ball. A Leeds fan myself, I would him expect to be up having a pint with Jackie Charlton, Lorimer, Hunter, Bobby Moore and all of his fallen footy friends. A brilliant man. RIP Jimmy.
A sad day, What a remarkable player he was, finishing, ball control, movement, he had the lot, never had the privilage of seeing him play live, but there is enough footage of him to show his genius, His goal record is just nuts, a player that reminded me of him a lot was romario the great brazilian forward.
Yes a good comparison, also Gerd Muller for Germany.
Listen to the way Martin is talking about it. That's genuine admiration.
Wow. First time watching Martin. His voice sounds young and vibrant. Never expected him to be this old
Got to pay respects to Mr Grieves. He was a true legend of the game.
Playing like leo Messi in the sky along with the rest of the departed 66 WC winning team once again.
RIP Sir u was a true great.
Best player in Tottenham history.
Jimmy wasn’t one of the greatest strikers in the world, he was THE greatest. He played the sport during an era that disregarded the safety of its’ participants.His achievements cannot be compared to any modern footballer, however, if he had played the game today he would be priceless.
And remember the state of some of those pitches he played on with a heavier ball in those days
If he was playing in this era with his talent on better pitches he would be a super star he was the greatest and I was lucky to see him play in the late 60's with Alan Gilzean.
@@mrdemocracy7106 Sir, I’m jealous beyond measure. I came along in time to watch Malcolm McDonald and Tony Green at Newcastle and I consider myself lucky yet despite Supermac’s more explosive talents in front of goal, Jimmy was, quite literally, on another level. My Dad used to say he only ever saw 5 truly world class players, Best, Milburn, Finney, Maradona and Greaves. When I asked him who was the best striker, he would always say “Jimmy Greaves was the best, bar none.”
Martin Tyler was choking up. Greavsie = Legend.
You have to love and respect Martin Tyler.
Met him yesterday such a genuinely nice guy
A proper footballer! RIP ❤️
A true genius a great player, the greatest goalscorer of his or any generation RIP Jimmy
A fantastic player and a top bloke.
Rip. Never got to see him play. But loved the saint and grevsie show when i was a kid. Loved watching that every saturday. Legend
I’m a Wolves fan and Jimmy Greaves is my hero
R.I.P
I'd love to hear a long form interview with Martin about Jimmy Greaves, Jimmy was clearly a huge figure in Martin's life as a football fan across the whole of his amazing career.
The interview of Jimmy with Brian Moore is a good one and available on YT
@@garyrichardson8934You're right it's excellent
Rip 🙏👑💙
glad I got to see him play many times, he was my hero as a boy
Jimmy best Spurs and England player
I grew up watching saint and greavsie!After watching the videos on TH-cam,I now know what a player he was!RIP greavsie,have a few with saint upstairs!
Dreadful news regarding the death of Jimmy Greaves, an absolute legend and one of England’s greatest strikers. Fitting that it’s Tottenham v Chelsea today. May he rest in peace
RIP SIR Jim i agree with all the comments
Great,great,memories,off
Those,happy,days,1960s,
Jimmy,greeves,,,,what,a,player
Never knew him as a footballer but he was my education on a Saturday morning, everything going on in the football world was addressed by St and Greavesy... A legend that spanned generations RIP
Saw him destroy us at Bramhall lane when I was a kid and the thing is he made it look so easy, placing the ball in the net twice, and when I see players today blast it over the bar from 3 yards I always think Jimmy wouldn't have done that!
Rest in peace Jimmy.
Rest In Peace the BRILLIANT LEGEND Jimmy Greaves!❤️ I absolutely loved his programme, “Saint and Greavsey”! An ex boyfriend made a scrapbook on Jimmy Greaves. I so wanted him to send it to his idol!❤️☹️
RIP legend
True loss. One of our greatest players. Outspoken but said it how he saw it. Bless his heart. England’s best player bar none
Rest in Peace. 🙏🏽😢
RIP good man
I wonder if the players will get on one knee for dear jimmy i doubt it.R.I.P. JIM.
Lovely words & anecdotes from an obviously very emotional Martin Tyler. Greaves’ goal scoring records are amazing, but I will never forget what a sorry figure he looked, sitting next to Alf Ramsey, when we won the World Cup in ‘66. He missed the chance to play in the biggest game in our history. RIP Jimmy.
Yes it was very sad and ironic really as he is undoubtably the best striker that England have ever produced yet he had to sit in the stand and watch two lesser strikers than himself ( Hunt and Hurst ) play the entire game for 120 minutes . Those two were both terrific strikers in their own right yet they both have generously admitted many times that they were not in the same league as he was . Sir Alf said that Hunt and Hurst were a better combination for the team and worked better as a duo than Greaves with either of them but I have always been a bit doubtful of that ever since watching the final all those years ago . I think it had more to do with the fact that Ramsey definitely did not like Greaves as much as the other two . He liked players who were ‘ Yes men ‘ and obeyed his every word on and off the pitch . Jimmy wasn’t like that and was a bit of a practical joker and a maverick . That didn’t sit well with Ramsey and it definitely annoyed him . The real shame of it all is that Ramsey didn’t bring him on for at least a spell in the match as other managers often do when they have a Great player on the sub bench in a Big Final . I know that Hurst scored 3 but I think we would have won anyway if Jimmy had been playing . He took it like a man and was very fair and humble about it over the years but I don’t think he ever quite got over it emotionally . He SHOULD of been playing . He was and still is our greatest striker of all time .
@@choppy249 Greaves was coming off an injury in an earlier game and was not in good form.
Saint and Greaves was a brilliant football show.
England's greatest ever striker.
RIP Jimmy!
Arsenal fan, have to show respect to a legend 🙏🏽😢
@@speedking7224 Now is not the time.
@@festavision Not like I'm disrespecting him But maybe you're right.
@@festavision sorry
@@speedking7224 Thank you for your respect mate. You don't see that often on here 💯❤
@@festavision welcome
I heard Geoff Hurst (who for those not old enough to remember) explain his surprise at Alf not picking Jimmy Greaves over Hurst when Greaves was fit in the World Cup when he modestly said "Jimmy had more talent in his little finger than I had in total.."
Greaves was injured and out of form.
Legend on and off the field
Saint, Greavsie, Tyler (now Sky), Tyldesley, Irvine (now BBC), Rosenthal, Moore, Brackley. Great members of Saint & Greavsie
So sad to hear this news. What a wonderful football player he was never got the recognition he deserved. When he done the Saturday show with Ian st John it was the best thing on telly . Condolences to the family. Love from Scotland 💕
