Imagine a player coming towards you as though he were on skates with a mesmerising wand of a left foot as he glides past statuesque opponents and finishes with a precise placement into the corner of the net. A nightmare to mark or play against.
Then imagine a jovial, happy and smiling proud Englishman sitting alongside his friend Ian St John, making football on TV on Saturday lunchtime enjoyable but at the same time never trivialising the game. That was Jimmy Greaves.
Jimmy joined Tottenham in 1961, the season after the greatest Double side of all had won the league and Cup.
