Edgar Davids
Very sad to learn of his passing. But not surprised, given his recent health issues.
Danny Blanchflower was the apple of my grandad's eye, both being Ulstermen. But as my granda educated me about Spurs, he never held back his admiration for Jimmy Greaves.
"If Danny's doing his job, he's getting the ball to Greaves to score the goals", is what he told me.
I've loved Spurs all these years because of what Belfast's John McIntyre taught me. And an awareness and appreciation of Jimmy Greaves has been fundamental in that connection. RIP Jimmy. You were as good as it gets.
We need a statue of Jimmy at WHL. It's not something some of us want or should hope to see. It's something needed. They say no player is bigger than the club. No one ever connected with Spurs is bigger than Jimmy Greaves. Get it done, Daniel Levy and get it done soon.
