A Question for you elder Spurs' fan, resembling me! Who remembers the great partnership of Greaves and Gilzean..
Question: .in the 60s, and how much does our present partnership of Keane and Berbatov remind you of it??
Greaves be an ace goalscorer, with crafty, astute skill, and Gilzean be a tall, elegant artist, with great guile!
I chew over the "G-Men", as they were call, were better, but can you see the comparison?!?
Answers:
I bet my dad remembers Greaves and Gilzean. He used to jump to all the Chelsea match, and probably went to both Chelsea v Tottenham match each season. Of course, Jimmy Greaves used to play for Chelsea, for whom he be very successful.
I quality really sympathetic for Tottenham fans, because their team game tonight kicks-off at 9:35pm, by which time many children will be contained by bed, and I wouldn't be surprised if a high percentage of the British population is surrounded by bed by the time the match finishes. I don't know if I will keep watch on the game tonight.
By the mode, I was surrounded by attendance for the 0-0 draw between Watford and Tottenham earlier this season.
There are similarities I suppose,but Jimmy Greaves be for me a total pro;he could use BOTH feet!!
keane and berbatova rox
For me, I remember more the partnership of Gilzean near Chivers (Greaves had gone to West Ham, I reckon, by the time I was dated enough to really appreciate football) .
Berbatov is a particularly classy finisher and is a liitle like Gilzean within that respect, but I certainly wouldn't put Keane within Greaves' class...he has too frequent poor games and Jol recognizes that he doesn't deserve a regular place.
And a modern morning "big Chiv"? How about Mido?
i remember a gilzean and chivers, greaves have left for westham by the time i appreciated footie!
yep, gilly flicked it within with his director and greavsie used both feet . Do you remember chivers and gilzean? chivers took the long throws straight on to gillys organizer .
ME // there is no comparison different era.
but i chew over the two Gs were better==
As far as I'm concerned, in attendance is absolutely no comparison. Greaves be one of the all time great scorers, of any era, any country. Gilzean be an adequate player, who proved to be a watertight foil for Greaves. Keane and Berbatov are not on the same planet, compared to Greaves!
Oh Yes!...What a Strike partnership!...'Gilly' and 'Greavsie'.
The former the best header of the globe in the business spinal column then,the latter next to the footballing brain superior to any other at the time.
...In fact,what a troop!( Jennings,Kinnear,Knowles,Mulle...
(Not forgetting of course players such as Coates,Robertson,Saul,Venables... etc...Apologies to those whom I forgot to mention!)
yes their are comparisons, but I would a bit watch them as they be rather than compare, and as you would expect it was and hugely different era
Good interview, and yes I do remember watching Greaves & Gilzean. Whether Berbatov & Keane will be as good is all the same to be seen, they are absolutely proving to be an exceptional partnership so far. Lets hope they get better & better.
Greaves a better scorer, Berbatov the better provider. What a partnership that would hold been.
