He’s probably on here every day and has a Multi!
I'm an Woolwich fan - no, wait! - but I always loved Jimmy Greaves as a player and a hell of a man. Well, just to give him a big up now - SURVIVOR and WORLD CUP MEDAL WINNER! Rock on Jimmy, forever a SUPERSTAR!
An old family friend had a bad stroke last week, it's not looking good. I'm posting the news here because he was a decent footballer in his day, he actually played about 12 times for Northern Ireland scoring 6 goals.

Sorry to hear that mate, hope he recovers
It's tough on his family because they can't visit, but it was a massive stroke and he's not responding well according to what they're being told...

God bless to you friend Arty, hope he gets well soon.

It's bullshit!
People forget how loved he was as a TV personality too....
Jimmy's a national treasure.
It's a disgrace. I know someone like Marcus Rashford did a good thing during lockdown, but how he, and TBF Harry, could get one before Jimmy is quite appaling.
Saint and Greavsie were must watch pundits who could laugh at themselves
Far superior to smug cunts like Lineker and Lawro
