Quality goal from a quality player and is it any co-incidence that Defoe was given a DVD of Jimmy Greaves and told to watch how he passed the ball into the net instead of blasting it? Greaves had everything a forward needed and he made the most of his attributes.

Funny in the build up to that goal, Nobby Stiles goes in on our no 8 who flicks a foot out at him!!

Saw him play when i was just a lad baz, to tell the honest truth i suppose its open for debate how he would cope with todays markers, its just a different game now.
Do you know where jimmy lives ? as many years ago a mate of mine was doing building work somewhere and jimmy used to walk past to get his morning paper, cant ask my mate as he,s kicked the bucket now, mind you i am talking 1990s here and greavsie might have moved since.
Just out of curiosity really as dave (my mate) said you could have a laugh and joke with him, i think they used to taunt jimmy as he walked by ! shouting out "its a funny old game "

I think that was Eddie Clayton according to my research. I am sure Len, Seebee or Mikey will verify it.

think he lives near me in halsted or near here sumwhere as he owns a golf course
anyway baz thats my point hes a goalscorer, he shouldnt be back defending
if he was playing today in enland he would be ask to run everywhere
you want these players in the 6yard box not out by touchline
darren bents a natural goalscorer

Darren Bent a natural goalscorer 
only thing natural about Darren Bent is his beard. If he is so good how many games didnt he score for Sunderland about 20 hasnt Gabby got more goals than him this season too

Eddie Clayton it was, a man who, along with Dave Mackay, once cost me a girl friend. Interesting to see Maurice Norman playing at right back as well.

I do not think Greaves would have had any problems playing today because the main weapons in his armoury were exceptional speed over the first five yards, and a footballing brain that ensured he was moving a split second before the opposition. Very, very few players had that combination and in the current PL the only player I can think of a bit like JG is Suarez - explosive pace and a sharp mind.
And yes I did see Greaves play - I as even at WHL the day he scored that goal against Toon

You may well be right nic,i was just taking into account off the ball incidents that happen in todays game, shirt tugging, tripping, blocking , and half the time the refs dont see it, very quick players get that treatment before they get the ball passed to them, lennon, bale and defoe are just examples that i know of only as i watch many of the spurs games.
He was a great player, and a great sense of humour too

Was that the goal where he threaded the ball through what looked like the eye of a needle between the goalies bodie and the top corner of the net because I was there that day and I remember WHL exploding with disbelief as the goal went in?

Thank you Seebee. By the way how did you lose your girfriend?

I think he may have scored two that day Baz but the one I mean was when he picked the ball up in his own half, or just over half way and left two Toon defenders sprawling before sliding it past the keeper in front of the Paxton - no hurry in the way he went about it - a player totally confident in his ability

Don't really agree there Nic as I think Van Persie, or Crystal Ken, has that kind of speed of thought where he is reacting just that little bit quicker than everyone else.

I remember that one too nick, not sure if it was the same game though.

I think the goal you are refering to is on this montage at 3.31 minutes in Nic.

Hmm not sure Baz - It was a lovely sunny afternoon late in the season cos the pitch was bald, and Toon were done out in a sort of dark green outfit lol
As for RvP and Greaves I just don't see it Ion - in spite of the fact that Robin is scoring goals left,right and centre he is just not a natural predator, he's quick I agree but a very different type of finisher

Ffs lought, it was a different and if you ask me better era of football then, it wasnt all about money in those days, yes bill nic splashed out but it was to uphold the spurs tradition he had created, free flowing football in the spurs style.
Its an insult to those spurs players to say defenders and goalkeepers were crap, they were still the best of their era and we conquered all that was put in front of us, that was a great team with jimmy in.
My point is that i feel he would be fouled big time today, the same way bale and lennon are now, i think he would still score 25 goals in todays prem.
