Get Well Soon

Sad news that Jimmy Greaves has suffered a stroke :(
Best wishes to him and his family that he pulls through and can carry on a near normal life.

Jimmy is one of the legends of English football, 44 goals in only 57 games for England although sadly injured during the 1966 World cup triumph, where his replacement Geoff Hurst filled his boots so well that Jimmy couldn't get back into the team (no substitutes back then).
Earned his reputation with amazing goal scoring exploits at his first club Chelsea, and after a brief spell in Italy with Milan he returned to England with Tottenham where he scored over 200 goals, in his later days he had a spell at West Ham.
Best known by people of my age for his television work, on Saturday lunchtime's "on the ball" followed by "Saint and Greavesie" and regular appearances on footie related programmes.

Here's a few pics, first one from my cuttings collection.

A classic shot

... and of course in the Hammers kit :)

Get well soon Jimmy.
