439 goals in 648 appearances spanning 24 years, Greavsie was a goal machine at every level of football. Like many others of that time he was blighted by a drinking addiction but pulled through it. Shilton just gave an interview about him on radio4 this morning, adding he was very intelligent and had many interests beyond football. i didn't see him play in the flesh, but when you saw him on the box he was awesome. Chelsea have been my 2nd team since the 60's and I was gutted as an 11 year old when they sold him to Milan..then Spurs bought him less than a year later for £99,999 !
Jimmy, thanks for the fabulous memories, RIP...

The last match of !970-71, West Ham 0 Town 1, was his last game other than in non-league and I think the only time he played against us.

I’d guess that not many football clubs got the better of The Late great Jimmy Greaves in footy head to heads or statistics, but that’s a nice wee accolade for Town to add to the many we already have in our beautiful history. Very well spotted araucaria - and thank you for that !
