Roar of the Crowd: The Enigmatic Mr. Greaves

on BBC Two England

The second of a new series in which famous sports stars tell their own stories and express their own opinions against the backcloth of their own exciting action.

Jimmy Greaves (Tottenham always; England infrequently) is a football controversy. Countless thousands of words have been argued about him. Now, alongside others, he speaks for himself.
My job is to score goals. If I score a goal there's not many critics-Greaves (more than thirty goals this season)
He won't tackle other people, but doesn't shun being tackled-Billy Nicholson (Spurs Manager)
I can't understand how people don't see Jimmy as a great player -Danny Blanchflower (ex-Spurs)
Sometimes he ignores what he sees, but Jim Greaves is Jim Greaves! - Eddie Baily (Spurs Assistant Manager)
