RIP, Jimmy who has passed away aged 81. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58613988www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/32581203A great of the game who like George Best had a battle with booze which blunted his talent, a sort of bridge too from the old stalwarts and the 70's on superstar players. You'd have to imagine what a player like Jimmy in his prime would be worth today. Like his past co-presenter Ian St John who died recently 'Saint and Greavsie' was great entertainment even if you didn't like football and such a shame Jimmy's had bad health for a fair few years too. Thanks for your contribution to football Jimmy.

More sad news.
I remember Jimmy doing his spot on the local ATV news programmes ATV-Today, ATV-Sport and ATV Star Soccer alongside the great Billy Wright, Gary Newbon and a young Nick Owen. As a kid, I never realized that he also had a career as a footballer prior to all this.
Loved watching with with Ian St John on "World of Sport" and in their own spin off.
Always very funny.
RIP Jimmy

RIP Jimmy Greaves, a great player in his day by all accounts and during my lifetime an often seen television personality, where I tend to remember him as a TV programmes reviewer and critic on one of the Breakfast TV programmes.

Sad loss, I remember him on TV very well, I don't recollect him playing, he was just slightly before my time of watching the game.

Jimmy was such a regular on TV in the 80s and 90s, particularly in the Central region where he even had is own show for a time. RIP Jimmy Greaves
