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

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

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

An all time great

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!

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.

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!

Some life all the same

Wonder how far he got with the album he was supposed to be making with Madlib a decade or so ago.

my heart stopped for a second there

the doc on Melvin that his son made is the most narcissistic movie I have ever seen. the guy's big contribution to culture was releasing a blaxploitation movie a few months before gordon parks made the first GOOD blaxploitation movie.

― adam t. (abanana), Wednesday, 22 September 2021 22:03 (four years ago)

What did you think I meant?

Just saw Elvis Costello as the first two words in a post on the obituary thread that’s all

― frogbs, Wednesday, 22 September 2021 22:24 (four years ago)

Always thought it was weird that Costello has acted as himself in films and television so many times. And not just quick appearances, like as a character in the story.

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 23 September 2021 11:37 (four years ago)

His IMDB page is missing Treme.

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 23 September 2021 11:38 (four years ago)

I think there was a film where he tried to act as someone else once and was so bad he was never asked again.

― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Thursday, 23 September 2021 11:58 (four years ago)

He's got a bunch of credits as other characters, half of it is voice acting for animation

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 23 September 2021 12:06 (four years ago)

He does get punched by Keith Allen in a Comic Strip Presents.

― Michael Jones, Thursday, 23 September 2021 12:16 (four years ago)

Must look out for that episode

― Are You Still in Love With Me, Klas-Göran? (Tom D.), Thursday, 23 September 2021 12:18 (four years ago)

The Bullshitters: Roll Out The Gunbarrel, I believe.

was The Bulshitters a pisstake out of The Professionals?

― calzino, Thursday, 23 September 2021 12:29 (four years ago)

Not a very funny one if memory serves

my personal fave at the time was Mr Jolly Lives Next Door, there was a lot of not very good ones though.
