The goal machine surely deserves his own thread of appreciation. There will definitely be absolute respect as Spurs play Chelsea today. His stats are incredible & would be even greater if his headstrong ways & thirst hadn’t ticked off Sir Alf, who reportedly just blocked him after a certain point in the ‘66 World Cup. I saw him play for West Ham ( not my club) as a kid & was lucky to see him score, but to many he was the jolly , jokey bloke in the Pringle jumper cracking Dad jokes about ‘ The Accies’ & how Gordon Banks looked like a chimp. He surely had his demons & was courageously honest about them, but God, WHAT a player. RIP.
