The Jimmy Greaves We Knew celebrates the life and career of a national treasure through the memories of friends, family, team—mates, the media and fans. They recall 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 tribute to this charismatic, friendly, down—to—earth, witty individual who built a reputation for hitting the back of the net playing 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 died on 19 September 2021, when two of his former clubs, Spurs and Chelsea — plus 60,000 fans — gave him a minute's applause before they played each other at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The love and affection is as strong as ever.
