    I never got to see him play live but everybody can't be wrong when they say he was the greatest striker.
    RIP Jimmy & best wishes to his family.

    RIP Jimmy Greaves. An incredible goalscorer.

    It seems apt that Tottenham are at home to Chelsea today - I'm sure the tribute will be wonderful. Also there'll be a minutes applause at West Ham's game vs ourselves today.

    a few footballers sometimes make u wish you were older so u could have actually seen them play or at least play in their prime. this man was one of them. looking at his records he looks insane. both england and club football.

    GOALS ENGLISH TOP FLIGHT
    1 Jimmy Greaves 357
    2 Alan Shearer 283
    3 Nat Lofthouse 253

    RIP. Obviously never saw him play but reading about him shows how highly thought of he was.
