A funny, warm and as we know, a resilient human being. Dug himself out of alcoholism and rebuilt his life in TV entertainment. He put a smile back on the face of football during the 1980s when it needed it. The man was pure gold. RIP.

I admire anyone who can have folks take the piss and not bother about it. R I P sir Jim 🙏🙏

Fantastic player, very intelligent and witty man. A one off. Saint and Greavsie was staple viewing for me when I was a kid.

Jimmy Greaves... an absolute legend. A truly unique one-off. RIP Jim. A Gunner.

Jimmy was a good sport. I'll miss him.

Best English striker ever. Not many better overseas, to be fair.

Greavsie. A top top top striker and later on proved so many times how funny he was (giving and taking - no pun about the horse!)

Legend

‘Affectionate?!! You had me being sodomized by a horse!’ 😂 Top Delivery Jimmy

RIP Jimmy. Legend

There's so little of Saint & Greavsie's programmes on U-Tube, why? Jimmy Greaves is brilliant.

Jimmy Greaves, fantastic player and comedy genius.

Marvelous sense of humour, such a sport - Legend ! Oh, he was a great striker too apparently

England's best ever goal scorer. Pity he didn't get more caps than he deserved. Div 1 top goalscorer in 67 - 8 and not picked!!

Garrincha adopted the dog and named it Yimmie Greaves. When it died Garrincha had it stuffed. When Garrincha died he left the stuff dog to Jimmie in his will. It's now in Salford at the Football Hall of Fame.

A line I’m sure he never imagined himself saying on TV 🤣🤣👍

True story: When I was just starting to learn about "football," I saw "Fever Pitch," and never having heard of "Saint and Greavsie," trying to make out what Colin Firth was saying, and I thought he was saying, "Satan Greavsie." And I wondered why an Arsenal fan would call Greavsie "Satan." Then I found out who Greavsie was: A former Tottenham player. And I had my answer!

"Hey, Jimmy, I'll bet that wasn't the last time u went home smelling of piss, eh?" - LOL!!

Affectionate? you had me being sodomized by a horse!' If I was Jimmy I'd have that on my headstone. In fact, bugger it. I'm going to have that a quote on my headstone anyway!!!!
