The Jimmy Greaves We Knew celebrates the life and career of a national treasure through the memories of friends, family, team-mates, the media and fans. They recall a goalscoring great, a TV celebrity - most notably as one half of the legendary Saint and Greavsie - a newspaper columnist, comedian and raconteur who battled alcohol addiction. The modern game also pays tribute to this charismatic, friendly, down-to-earth, witty individual who built a reputation for hitting the back of the net playing for Chelsea, AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and England. Greaves set a European record of 357 goals in 516 top-flight games and netted 44 in 57 full international appearances. Tragically, Greaves suffered a stroke in 2015 and died on 19 September 2021, when two of his former clubs, Spurs and Chelsea - plus 60,000 fans - gave him a minute' s applause before they played each other at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The love and affection is as strong as ever.
Award-winning writer Mike Donovan is the author of numerous Tottenham Hotspur-related books including Football' s Braveheart (Dave Mackay), The King of White Hart Lane (Alan Gilzean), Glory, Glory Lane, Spurs' Greatest Games, Spurs' Unsung Hero (Terry Dyson) and Takenote! (Darren Anderton). Mike met and interviewed Jimmy Greaves and saw him play throughout the legend' s decade at Spurs. Mike has been a journalist for more than 40 years.
