My earliest memory of Jimmy Greaves, 1:05 into this clip -

Sure there was/is an RIP for him.......Quite surprised no mention on the forum that another great striker passed away recently. Roger Hunt of Liverpool and England.
Another brilliant forward and apparently all round good guy I remember from my youth. It was only on reading of his death I realised he was 16 years older than me. He would have been 28 when I first took interest in professional football.
Arguably one of Liverpool's greatest players in an outstanding team.
Or possibly they had second thoughts about tackling him when he didn't have the ball.
RIP Roger Hunt, of course, but I heard a lovely little Jimmy Greaves quote the other day.
He was asked whether he had ever suffered from a goal drought, and replied "Yes - it was the worst 15 minutes of my life"
