My very 1st match was Spurs 6 Town 3. Greavsie in the Spurs side although he didn't score. A complete striker. Could do fox in the box, mazey dribbles or 30 yd thunderbastards.
Sad statto fact. Gerry Baker scored a hat trick in this match and is the only Town player to score one and finish on the losing side. |  |

When he got the ball in the final third, he was the one player you would fear the most. Fantastic goal scorer. Scored a hilarious penalty against Banks, who was fiddling about with his gloves in the corner of the net. Ref blew his whistle and Greaves rolled the ball into the opposite corner. | | | |

Saw him score a hat trick against us when we lost 5-0 to Spurs at White Hart Lane in the FA cup 4th round. January 30 1965, the day of Winston Churchill's funeral. The pitch resembled a beach but didn't make any difference to Greaves. |  |

Greavesy reckoned once that he never played against The Ipswich league winning side which was strange because he scored the first goal against us in March 1962!
He also said that Kevin Beattie was the best English player he had ever seen, better than Duncan Edwards which caused a few Man U supporters to have a tantrum or twenty.
A truly great player, the best goal scorer I have ever seen. Never made the effort look spectacular if all it needed was a side foot into the net and that was what he did. Simplicity. | | | |
