Throughout the 60s, Jimmy Greaves was the ultimate goal machine. His 357 goals in English football came at the rate of 2 every 3 games. Quick, intelligent and aggressive, Greavsie had the ability to waltz through a bemused wall of defenders before tucking the ball past a hapless goalkeeper seemingly at will, endearing him to football fans across the country.

The autobiography of football icon Jimmy Greaves James Peter 'Jimmy' Greaves was one of the greatest footballers to have graced the English game, a goalscorer of legendary prowess. His gripping and characteristically humorous autobiography journeys from Jimmy's childhood in the East End, via his early career at Chelsea and his short and troubled stay at A.C. Milan, to his emergence as one of the great stars of sixties football while at Spurs and an outstanding England forward. Jimmy's record as a striker is extraordinary - he was the leading goalscorer in the First Division (now Premier League) for six seasons and during his playing career was never out of the top five. There are darker aspects too: the bitter disappointment of failing to make the World Cup-winning team of 1966, and the battle against the alcoholism that followed his retirement from the game. This book is both Jimmy's story and the story of football in the golden era of the fifties and sixties before money changed the game. It is populated by the great players whom Jimmy played with and against and animated by wonderful anecdotes about the game. It is an account of how football was then and how it has changed.

James 'Jimmy' Peter Greaves MBE, born on 20th February 1940, in Manor Park, east London, England, UK then brought up in Hainault, Essex was a professional footballer who played as a forward. He's England's 4th-highest international goalscorer with 44, including a record 6 hat-tricks, Tottenham Hotspur's highest scorer with 266, and the highest scorer in the history of English top-flight football with 357 goals. He finished as the 1st Division's top scorer in 6 seasons, being inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame. Jimmy began his professional career at Chelsea during 1957 then played in the following year's FA Youth Cup final. He scored 124 First Division goals in just 4 seasons before transferring to A.C. Milan for £80,000 in April 1961. His time in Italy wasn't happy, so he returned to England with Tottenham Hotspur for £99,999 in December 1961. Whilst playing for Spurs he won the FA Cup during 1961-62 then 1966-67, the Charity Shield in 1962 & 1967, plus the European Cup Winners' Cup during 1962-63, the year that Greaves came closest to winning a league title, as Tottenham were runners-up. He moved to West Ham Utd in a player-exchange in March 1970 then retired the following year. After 4-years away from the sport he returned to football at the non-league level, despite his alcoholism. During a 5-year spell he played for Brentwood, Chelmsford City, Barnet, and Woodford Town before permanently retiring from the game during 1980. Jimmy scored 13 goals in 12 England under-23 internationals followed by 44 goals during 57 full England internationals from 1959 - 1967. He played in the 1962 & 1966 FIFA World Cup finals, but was injured in the group stage of the 1966 World Cup, losing his 1st team place to Geoff Hurst, who kept Greaves out of the first team in the final. Although England lifted the World Cup, Jimmy wasn't given a winners medal until a change of FIFA rules during 2009. He was also part of the squad that came 3rd in UEFA Euro 1968, although he didn't play in the finals.

JIMMY GREAVES was a great entertainer and a national hero as a footballer, and is held in equal affection as a television pundit and performer. Now Greavsie reveals the footballers and managers who have given him most entertainment and are his biggest heroes. Greavsie has confined his star-studded assembly to players and managers of his lifetime -- dipping fondly back into the days of Stanley Matthews, Tom Finney and Len Shackleton and coming up to date with in-depth analysis of modern masters like Thierry Henry, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney. Along the way he nods in the direction of his good pals Bobby Moore, Dave Mackay, Billy Wright and, of course, George Best. Footballing gods of the calibre of Pele, di Stefano, Puskas and Maradona naturally win a place in the personal Greaves Hall of Fame. You may not agree with all his selections, but if you are a true football fan you will agree that this is a book that makes you laugh and grips your attention as you take a look at some of FOOTBALL's GREAT HEROES AND ENTERTAINERS.

Football isn't a matter of life and death,' Bill Shankly once famously said, 'it's much more important than that.' In The Heart of the Game, Jimmy Greaves looks back over his long association with the sport to give his take on all things football, and attempts to make sense of our undying passion for the beautiful game. How has the game changed from its working class roots to its current celebrity-driven image? How do managers like Sir Alf Ramsey compare to the Svens of today? Why have England stopped producing great goalkeepers? How come the football of yesteryear was more physical, yet the footballer of today is more injury-prone? Drawing on both his knowledge and love of the game, this is Jimmy at his fascinating, witty and humorous best.

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.
