RIP RAY WILSON
We had some laughs and some very late nights through the years and even with your illness you carried on coming with us and keeping us on our toes until about six years ago. In many peoples eyes the best English left back ever. Goodbye old friend

Heartbreaking news today. The great Alan Gilzean passed away this morning. Sympathy to his family. He was a lovely man and obviously one of the all time Spurs greats
Message from andy greaves on the night his fantastic dad receives MBE in honours list Hello Terry

Breaking News: exciting developments in the world of football nostalgia as ITV4 (and ITVX) will be showing 'Saint & Greavsie' compilation shows over the summer. More news on dates/times will follow in due course (along with a special feature in issue 85 of 'Backpass').
Lovely pic of Jim somebody sent me a while ago because he was having a cigarette which he stopped eventually. Harry Redknapp says he used to have a fag before a game, shake his legs a couple of times then go and score a hat trick. The best English forward ever. A genius.
We lost Jimmy two years ago today. Gone but never forgotten. For years I spoke to him most days and then 2015’s stroke robbed us of that pleasure but I miss him and his sense of humour everyday. Love and miss you Jim x
Just to say I spoke briefly to Jim today. He wasn’t in great shape at all but it was good to hear his voice. He should have received some sort of honour by now as so many of you say and those of us that love him...
Devastating news that Gillie , Dear old Alan Gilzean has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. Jimmy’s former and best strike partner is a lovely man and we are all very fond of him. Thoughts are with him and his family today and going forward.
Sad times
Very sad to say Alan Gilzean passed away today. Another one of the greats has gone RIP from all of us associated with Jimmy. He loved you and always said you were the best striking partner ever
Showing on itv next Monday at 11pm. On itv app for a month after that and maybe watch GMB Monday morning for a possible preview

Look what I just found in a filing cabinet in my office. Don’t know when it was. I guess around 10 to 12 years ago maybe. I thought some of you might like to see this lovely smiling face

Jimmy was so happy to hear so many of you sending your love. He’s no better and forever wheelchair bound. He struggles to speak now but we had a long chat and three or four times I did see the old sparkle in his...
I haven’t posted often enough and I apologise for that. It was my birthday on July 15th and Irene and Andy Greaves both called me and sang happy birthday because until a few years ago , Jimmy always did. I said to Irene how much I miss Jimmy and she said she misses him so much.
7 years ago today. Freda and terry from

We’ve only put this out once. It’s selling really well. It’s being broadcast on 8/2/2020 on bt sport. Ours is the only public showing with special guests in attendance.
Jimmy Greaves every time. I’m not going to argue with Micah as far as the premier league goes and Aguero is/was great. But if you’re life depended on it. Surely it’s JIMMY GREAVES all day long MICAH RICHARDS: Aguero is up there with best ever strikers

Happy days gone by. It was my birthday on Friday and the phone rang saying Jimmy Greaves calling. It was Irene too wish me a happy birthday! Felt strange hearing that though.
STEVE PERRYMAN: Harry Kane is a overtaking a genius in Jimmy Greaves
As if we didn’t love Steve enough already, he comes out and says what many of us think but didn’t have the guts to say. Jimmy was the best ever.
