Can anyone shed a little more light regarding our policy on no statues! Has it been explained why we don’t have them. Sorry if it’s already talked about
This was Jimmy’s original contract and seems appropriate to bump this.Thanks Dinghy. Hope this works.
Suggest you look at my other posts o Jimmy to see how deep my feelings are regarding JimmyWhat you say might be true, but was it really necessary to bring an anti-Enic agenda to a thread dedicated to the great Jimmy Greaves?
Point evaded. Nicely done.Suggest you look at my other posts o Jimmy to see how deep my feelings are regarding Jimmy
Was That the Leicester game in 1968 by any chance?I’ve said a few times on here that I was one of the privileged few to be there at The Lane to see Jimmy score the greatest goal ever scored. I will never forget every tingling moment. Probably the most remarkable thing about the goal was the crowd response. It was far from the typical celebration - the whole crowd just stood and applauded Jimmy for several minutes. If only there had been cameras.
That’s the one.Was That the Leicester game in 1968 by any chance?

Its worth pointing out that only the eleven that played got medals at the time to compound the frustration - he eventually did get one but not until 2009
Saw the great man score that unbelievable goal against mutd 5/1 to the lillywhites
I've always said that that was the greatest goal ever scored. No one who was there will disagree.I also saw both those games and, in fact, I thought the goal against Leicester was even better. He left player after player floundering in his wake and, unless the mists of time have messed with my memory, he drew his foot back as if to shoot, Shilton dived and Jimmy still had the ball at his feet and stroked it into the net.
Yep, was at both games too and agree the Leicester goal was better. The way that Greavesie took the ball out of the air from Jennings kick, then turned on a sixpence to quote the evening paper to begin his magical run all added to the greatness of the goal.I also saw both those games and, in fact, I thought the goal against Leicester was even better.

I swear to this day there was a sole camera in the East stand gantry, and someone claimed the goal was shown on the news, I think BBC 2
I even wrote to the BBC about it years later, but they had no trace of any footage
