Fair play to Sky, after years of ignoring Greavesie and banging on about Shearer, they've finally acknowledged who is the King of England's goalscorers.

They actually quote the' top of the Euro big leagues' stat, though could have also mentioned top of Div 1/Prem stats. But this is massive progress by the normally Prem-obsessed Sky, so well done to them
Great to see!
It's scary how close Ronaldo and Messi are though.
Only one player worthy really...Yep, I think Jim will lose his 'King of Europe' tag re league scorers during the next five years or so.
But no-one is remotely close to him in the 'King of England' stakes, and I hope Sky continue to realise it's Greavesie who leads the way in the top flight, not Shearer.
As an actor Gary Coleman also comes to mind, he never recovered his career from Different Strokes and died some time latter?Can we please stop talking as if he is dead? Plenty recover from strokes. Kirk Douglas comes to mind.
Well said, but it's important to keep alive the memory of his actual records so they don't get buried under the Prem tat.Greavsie will ALWAYS be the King of goalscorers for me at any level!
Charlton may have scored more for England but he took a lot more games to do so!
Great news he is on the mend!
Apparently Kane visited Jimmy Greaves in hospital this last week
"he's slurring, stopped dribbling and can almost form a full sentence".......said Greavsie
Think of Messi, but with Kane's heading ability. That's roughly peak Greaves. Easily 120+ million.Stuck at garage waiting for bad news about my car & musing about how much Greavesie in his prime would be worth in today's market...it's actually mind boggling & I have absolutely no idea. £70,80 million? Maybe more.
