I was very fortunate in the Late 50s early 60s to live next door to Denis’s family in Printfield Terrace in Aberdeen and met him many times when he came to visit his family. He was a genuinely nice guy and when he had a kick around on the grass he always made sure everyone had a touch of the ball. I moved to England later and he came to my town after he retired to do a sportsman night talk which I went to. After I met him and after a second look at me he remembered me. Great memories.

I.was not born when he played but really enjoyed his presenting on Saint and Greavsie , a genuine funny and knowledgeable man , God bless his soul

there is Diego Maradona and then everyone else

Would have loved to witness his genius in the modern era. The complete cf/st. And personality to boot. Could listen to him for hours, and have done watching saint and greavsie episodes. RIP.

Halfway through this. Loved watching old vids of Greavsey (even if it was mostly Spurs) and Gerd Muller especially.

Brian Moore, miss his commentary, what a great voice.

The best English Striker of all time. RIP Jimmy

What would be his value today What entertainment he gave all lovers of football

I used to talk to Jimmy whilst out walking dogs, maybe around 2014, a true gentleman. I never mentioned the game, I think he thought I had no idea who he was. He had a Labrador, I had two Staffords,, we just used to talk dogs and general stuff. He loved dogs and helped local rescue centres.

Вот это была команда.. всей душой болели тогда .. многих уже и в живых нету((. Васильевич мэтр.. царствие небесное

Jens Lehmann ❤❤❤❤❤

Технарь был от Бога

The best goal scorer England has ever had

One of the greatest ever.

The striker's striker.

Его игру и этот день запомнят навсегда, браво, Зидан!!

Настоящий Мужик!! Браво!

What a great player and man he was. As a recovering alcoholic myself coming up to 15 years sober, it really was great listening to Jimmy. He was a legend as a player and a man and carried a great message to many people... I still miss The Saint and Greaves show .

3 more comments will make 357 , number of goals scored by Jimmy in 1st Division I think.

Легенда

A true legend off Football ⚽ coys 4 life

And all because of competition name change in 1992, most people credit Alan Shearer with being the all time top scorer, when Jimmy Greaves (and 13 other strikers) are miles ahead of him for career goals.

I want to praise this doc, I learnt from it.

Arrogant, ungrateful (to the country he lived in and gave him everything) over rated. Greaves Pointer and Bobby Charlton were much better players and had something Law never had humility. I disliked him almost as much as I detested that cowardly thug Norman Hunter.

never new him as a footballer but i think it was 85/86 when saint and greavsy hit the airwaves i think and after mexico 86 which they really did well and relaunched using the theme tune from it it was just great,,

I made a brew for Denis and paddy crerand when l was an apprentice,top guy he even gave me some money

Великий гол

A world class player and thoroughly decent man by all accounts, makes the moden day cheating prima donnas look pathetic.

Who ?

I would love to see the old computation between the home countries Ireland (full) England and Scotland / Wales .. Im a Liverpool Fan since 1963.. I'v seen them all ,, But I have to Say United with 3 World class players from Ireland Scotland & England in one team was a great pleasure to watch even when they beet us ,, great days ..

Shocking pitches!

Great footage. Greavesie had such a admirable demeanour. Gave so many players great credit.

I am an Evertonian and he has been my favourite player since the first game I watched him live in Everton v Man Utd at Goodison Park under the lights in 1963. The man had everything, I was so envious of Utd fans who got to watch him week in and week out.

Biggest club in the world? Don't know which club this would be....but it certainly ain't the redmanks!!!

А ГДЕ гол-то, чувак?

The Holy Trinity Best Law Charlton absolutely superb

I am one of the fortunate ones to have seen Law, Best and Charlton play together in their Man U days.

...sharp, intelligent with lightning speed Denis was ace

The king of old Trafford

What a great man!

I've never known him as 'The King', but I prefer the nickname I do know him by, because it's more unique: he's 'The Law-man' 😊

Best goal Denis scored was against the rags in 1974, you know, the back heel, another nail in the coffin that seen them relegated, happy day’s indeed.

Proper legends both 🙌🙌🙌

I saw Dennis playing for Manchester City against Luton at Kenilworth road in the F A Cup and he scored all six goals for City but because the rain waterlogged the pitch the ref abandoned the game. In the replay Luton beat them 3-1 and Dennis scored City’s goal too but went out of the cup. Really lucky to see him play.

Man Utd arent the biggest club in the world, arrogant bs

The lawman and greaves the two most deadly finishers in the box in Britain

I saw him play when I went to my first match at Old Trafford in 1969 as a 10 year old and he was captivating. He had everything: skills beyond belief, swagger, hard as nails, a cheeky grin, and a desire to win. I couldn't wait to get a long sleeved shirt and hold the cuffs like Denis did, and raise my arm to salute a goal even though these were just in knockabout games with mates on cow-pat covered impromptu pitches. Much later, in the late 80s or very early 90sm I can't quite remember, I was invited by other Irish businessmen to a fantastic sportsman's dinner organised by Jackie Blanchflower, where a number of famous ex Utd and City players were mingling on the tables with guests. The two main speakers were Denis and George Best, and I was lucky that we were on The King's table. He was an absolute gent, with a cutting, witty sense of humour, and no edge about him at all. An unforgettable experience. It's a bitter-sweet moment now seeing how we're all growing old and in various stages of failing health, but I'm glad that I experienced meeting my all-time hero and sharing a few hours in his company. Lawman, you're Simply The Best !

A lovely guy and a great footballer.

Always liked Jimmy Greaves on TV. So down to earth and always up for a laugh. Obviously too young to remember him playing but should have got more England caps with that great goal scoring. It seems England managers just didn’t like maverick type players until the late great Bobby Robson came along.
