Famous quotes by Jimmy Greaves:
"We signed to play until the day we died, and we did."
"We are really the victims of our own problems."
"Ian St. John: Is he speaking to you yet?"
"Britain never had a greater sporting ambassador."
"Since I stopped playing, people have been comparing strikers with me. If anyone wants to say it about Michael Owen, however, they are quite welcome."
"Jimmy's death devastated my wife, Irene, and myself. It nearly drove us out of our minds,"
"As parents, you expect your children to outlive you and when that doesn't happen, you become an empty shell. Jimmy was a beautiful boy and his time on this earth was all too brief. It kind of puts losing my World Cup winner's medal to Geoff into perspective, doesn't it? But you don't go through life without having some really bad times, and I've had some great times, too."
"The thing about sport, any sport, is that swearing is very much part of it."
"Football tactics are rapidly becoming as complicated as the chemical formula for splitting the atom."
