Although the pitch was a quagmire, some of the football was excellent, Jimmy Greaves was some player.
but they could still a ball.bet that ball felt like a medicine ball!
He was the best around at the time.Enjoyed watching that clip.
Question for the older bears; How good was Greaves? Have read articles about him before and he seemed highly regarded.
And sometimes covered in snow yet you could attend a 4-4 draw between County and Man United.The Baseball Ground was even worse. In Winter the entire pitch would be one gigantic mudbath.
Could you imagine Jack Grealish on that ?Would love to see some of the EPL fannies from these days play on a pitch like that.
