Have some respect please. Jimmy is not a well man just now. It is not a laughing matter.
Jimmy Greaves was an awesome player. One of the very best British players these islands have ever produced, right up there with Besty. Never understood why he doesn't get the full recognition he deserves. Maybe he will now.

I happened to see you when I was a boy, still the best.

Don't think Dean got any recognition either did he ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
no mate.
those were the days whem they got up and played for the love.
he broke his jaw and cheekbone in 1926 and they didnt know if he would ever play again... first game back he scored a header and got 36 in 36.
Fair play good shout. Sat here trying to think of reasons why Jimmy "it's a funny old game" Greaves shouldn't get a gong, or at least some recognition. I can't, it'd be well deserved.

I mean no disrespect to a legendary player, only morespurs assuming he was dead.
Jimmy Greaves scored all 365 goals in the top flight, Dixie Dean only scored 302 of his goals in the top flight, he scored 39 in the old second division, and 33 in the old third division.
Every single one of Greaves 422 goals in al competitions was scored whilst in was playing in the top division. That makes him the greatest British goalscorer. Dean was good, just not quite as good as our Jimmy.

Gets really boring, where a genuine mistake from a poster is being turned into a supposedly funny post around a very sick former Spurs player. Mostly the Liverpool supporters always bringing it up. They wouldn`t like it if opposition supporters had a go at any of their seriously ill ex players.

Arthur Rowley scored 434 goals from 619 matches making him the greatest goalscorer of all time. 251 of those goals were when he played for Leicester.
Jimmy Greaves does deserve recognition for his contribution over the years. I was fortunate enough to see him play on many occasions. Everything was effortless about him, his skill and composure and he’d jump straight into my starting eleven.
I should have said “English” goalscorer.

Arthur Rowley scored nearly all of his goals in the lower leagues, so in no way can be compared to Jimmy Greaves, who scored all his goals in the top division.

Yes not saying his tally doesn`t exceed all others, but I am sure there is a park footballer who has scored more than Arthur Rowley, would you say his total exceeded say Rowley`s, and would make him the best goalscorer of all time.
I think Greaves is widely regarded as the best of all time, with Dixie Dean in a close second position. Steve Bloomer, also worth a mention, scored nearly 400 career goals, and most of those were in the old 1st division.
Greaves, like Fowler after him, made it look easy. No need to smack it, when you can place the ball past the keeper.
Nice to see he may be recognised
