According to Greaves, his skills were honed as a kid playing football with a tennis ball on cobbled streets.
Fairly sure HK would have had a more sophisticated footballing education, including the scientific approach to corporeal tuning and fitness.
Greaves was always last on training runs and fitness, smoked and drank like a whale.
Spot on. Imagine the two of them playing as a striking pair, would be even better than Greaves and Gilzean
“
Greaves would not be useless today ,not on superb pitches. Look at pitches in the 1960’s, in winter they were like WW1 no mans land.
Like others have said though, different era. Greaves, a smoker, wouldn't be able to hack 90 minutes of Premier League intensity.
Kane would probably get snapped in half with a tackle from behind in the 60s.
Horses for courses. They're both Tottenham legends, and for that we should be thankful.
I think it just means they're likely to have the critical thinking skills of a Jack Grealish
...with lead weights for footballs.
He's just a show pony who's not even worth half of what was paid for him
Particularly as one of his stand out attributes was his speed.
Agreed, todays scientific approach to body tuning would have made him fitter, and probably off the sauce
Great performance yesterday. I'm really hoping we've turned a bit of a corner now.
Porro on paper should be a great signing. He'll surely go straight in but with the way Emerson has been playing last few games those two pushing each other can only be a good thing and let's pray that's our RWB issues sorted.
I'm not having it that Newcastle are all that. They've over achieved so far. Let's see how they cope when the pressure on them ramps up. We've got lots of tough fixtures out of the way now. If we can keep everyone fit and in form (hopefully Son can keep improving) there is every chance we can make top 4.
Good draws in the FA cup and the CL for us to look forward to.
COYS!

He would be if he was knackered inside 10 minutes. He comes from an era where HT was a fag break.
Newcastle do drop a lot of points, they draw far too many. They're also in this position with a manager who hasn't been up this end of the Premier League going into the second half of the season before with a squad not used to this pressure, unless you count the pressure of a relegation scrap.
Our squad is still better than theirs and hopefully our terrible injury record this season is now behind us. If we get our shit together than we're finishing above them. I know that's a fairly sized "if", but it's true.
I think City suits Royal same as it did Hojbjerg playing like warriors. If we are dealing with a team that sits back then we will need less physicality but more craft that is where the likes of Porro, Bissouma, Sarr etc come in.
Not to forget the fact that Harry is suddenly a ginger
I take it he is now a loyal Spur
Personally I wouldn’t have wasted my breath unless he was paying for the beer!
5 nil against Burnley?
Poor kid, I laughed and my wife gave out to me. She said blame the school teachers.
People will say the game is about winning trophies as a fan but yesterday when I witnessed Harry Kane score the winning goal and break Greaves record was a feeling I don't think will ever be repeated. His interview after the game was just fantastic.
It's a once in a lifetime moment which was a privilege to be there for.

Fair enough but I saw a lot of Jimmy and he was like greased lightning so speed wouldn’t be a problem
The fags at HT might though
My all time Spurs legend along with Mackay who would be a revelation in today’s game
