The Jimmy Greaves We Knew pays tribute to the remarkable life and career of a national icon through the recollections of friends, family, teammates, the media, and fans. They remember a goalscoring great, a TV celebrity – most notably as one half of the legendary Saint and Greavsie – a newspaper columnist, comedian, and raconteur who battled alcohol addiction. The modern game also pays homage to this charismatic, friendly, down-to-earth, witty individual who built a reputation for scoring goals for Chelsea, AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, and England. Greaves set a European record of 357 goals in 516 top-flight games and netted 44 in 57 full international appearances. Tragically, Greaves suffered a stroke in 2015 and passed away on September 19, 2021, when two of his former clubs, Spurs, and Chelsea, along with 60,000 fans, gave him a minute's applause before they played each other at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The love and affection for him remain as strong as ever.
