The Greatest
The Greatest. RIP Jimmy Greaves, You were the greatest striker the world has ever seen.
You were a hero to many – including myself.
You were also the man who made tens of thousands begin their love affair with Tottenham Hotspur.
Sixty years of attending matches later, I am still in your debt. Rest In Peace Greavsie. One of a kind.
