It's not credible without Bobby Goaldado imo.

I note in the Telegraph article that once again Greaves' amazing achievement of 357 goals in the top flight is ignored. Still an all-time record, and considerably more than Prem top scorer Shearer, for example, who often gets plaudits for this 'record'.
NOTE to the media, football existed before the Prem.
The real truth is that Jim is bitter over not earning the mega salaries of today. I won't condone the club's approach to the hall of fame, because it should probably account for older players who aren't millionaires, but the fact is that it's just not how it was in his day and he needs to come to terms with that I think.Greaves' goal scoring record undisputably makes him a legend, doesn't mean that we have to like the person.
I actually asked Stevie why he hadn't been inducted and he cited the reason as mentioned above - that was before the club/he changed their minds and the induction had to be cancelled due to Stevie's heart attack.
I don't think the Club come out of these events covered in glory - just another way of fleecing supporters. However Mr G can't really say too much about these corporate events - I went to one of his Q&As at the O2 - celebrating his 70th birthday. He included a number of ex-Spurs players, and was quite nostalgic about his playing days at Spurs and didn't show any bitterness (probably because he realised that 99% of the audience were Spurs supporters). However he also had Geoff Hurst, Ron Harris (spit!) and George Graham (double spit!!) alongside him. Our tickets were quite reasonable but I know people who paid a £100 to have a photo and VIP seat - who's ripping off who?

All by hand fella. No c&p involved.Yeah, and you typed really fast and everything...
Just need to re-arrange Perryman's induction now!
