Maybe today, or sometime this month, Harry Kane will officially become Tottenham’s greatest goalscorer.
Harry is a wonderful payer, a real worker and a great finisher. But the man whose record he is breaking, Jimmy Greaves, was a genius.
I don’t use the word lightly nor this comparison: I think Jimmy is the closest thing we’ve had to Lionel Messi. The style, the panache, the finishing: I should be saying Messi was close to being Jim, he was that good.
Maybe because he missed the biggest game of his life, the 1966 World Cup final, some generations don’t realise quite how much better he was than everyone else.
