With a documentary film on Jimmy Greaves' life being broadcast next week by BT Sports the Mail has started a campaign to get Jimmy Knighted.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...n-Mullery-reasons-Jimmy-Greaves-knighted.html

With scoring record in Europe's top leagues that is only surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo it is amazing that he has not been recognised already when many of his peers have.

I have been told the documentary is wonderful and has tributes from the best in the game. I am lucky enough to be going to a friends and family viewing this Thursday so I will rate in the film thread ahead of its release next week.
In the past Jimmy hasn't been to bothered about a knighthood but I am reliably told he would be very happy to accept the honour if he were to receive it.
 
Do you know when it will be shown?
For me he is the greatest player of all time as a goal scoring machine.Its very sad that he is struggling with his health after his stroke.
It would be a fitting tribute for him to be honoured
 
In fairness MK,players like Greaves,Moore, Best were alcoholics and perhaps didn't want the help at the time

Today's game has many faults,but does realise the gulf between playing and having nothing after football,its not faultless but does have options in place to help those with addictions

But yes in days when gongs are handed out to MPS for doing **** all,Greaves would deserve the award (Though I strongly disagree with any awards/gongs)

No he didn't from the FA certainly,ok Bobby liked a jar,so what,compared with todays antics from certain players.
Yes give Jimmy a knighthood and a belated one for our Bobby,as my uncle Mac used to say"proper players".
