I think about these two and a half pages from Norm Macdonald’s book constantly. When I reviewed it, I wrote that they would “make for a fine eulogy”—and I swear I didn’t mean anything by it. But they do. pic.twitter.com/vxLRAd2OeP

Very sad to hear that Leta Powell Drake passed away. Was told going viral last year brought her great joy, which warms my heart knowing I played a small part in that. What an extraordinary woman.

Rest in peace, Leta Powell Drake, you legend.pic.twitter.com/3oCYAd9vZD https://t.co/WJmHEsMuAY

Jimmy Greaves

― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:09 (four years ago)

thought he died a couple of years ago

― edited to reflect developments which occurred (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:16 (four years ago)

his old pal the Saint passed earlier this year.

― calzino, Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:19 (four years ago)

I think most people were amazed that he outlived Saint. RIP. There doesn't seem to be much footage of him playing but his stats are astonishing.

― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:26 (four years ago)

His career was over when he was 31, last played for England when he was 27.

― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:28 (four years ago)

his goalscoring rate in his early days was incredible - it even makes that [redacted] at Man Utd seem a bit shabby

― calzino, Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:29 (four years ago)

Cristiano Ronaldo broke his "top five leagues" goals record in 2017

An all time great

― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:30 (four years ago)

He has iirc about seventy league goals on shearers "record"

― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:30 (four years ago)

124 goals in 157 games by the time he was 21

― calzino, Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:31 (four years ago)

Just imagine what he could have achieved if he'd been a boring bastard like Kane or Shearer.

― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:34 (four years ago)

before he turned professional he scored 122 goals in one season for the Chelsea youth side in the '56-57 season!!

― calzino, Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:48 (four years ago)

oh yeah it would have to be Spurs vs Chelsea today - good timing by the lad!

― calzino, Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:53 (four years ago)

Used to see Greavsie knocking them in for Barnet back around 1980, when I'd make a regular trip up to Underhill with my older brother. The only solid memory I have of him is when another player rolled the ball past the goalie and he made sure to nip in and bash it in himself. Once a poacher eh.

― it's gonna take a spiracle (Matt #2), Sunday, 19 September 2021 09:59 (four years ago)

Wow, just reading about Greaves ill-fated stint at Milan.

― nashwan, Sunday, 19 September 2021 11:36 (four years ago)

it's quite a story, and even when he was at odds with the continental style of football, very unhappy and often on the lash - he was still banging in the goals.

― calzino, Sunday, 19 September 2021 11:53 (four years ago)

don't watch that 2018 youtube of him recalling the time Trump did the league cup draw with him in the 80's, where he says Trump is a "great guy". It's not the time for that!
