R.I.P. from somebody who doesn't follow sport but I recognise his name well. From the era when football heroes were good role models for children. unlike now.

My Dad used to take me to White Hart Lane when I was young. Being a child I was allowed to stand down the front of the terrace with Dad stood behind me. I was privileged to see the great Jimmy Greaves in action on many occasions....happy days!

RIP Jimmy <3
