    I only knew him/them from ‘Saint & Greavsie’, I knew they both played football but it was the dynamic of their show 30yrs ago that I enjoyed about them both, both gone too. I thought Greavsie looked old 30 years ago🙂, I loved that show, great fun. We take away from life or add to it-Greavsie added to it👍🏻

    Truly one of the greatest ever goal scorers ever !!!!. I saw him play many times and truly can't remember when he didn't score a goal. Whatever would his value be today as a young lad ?
