The greatest English Goal scorer ever.

If the younger generation get the chance,watch some old footage..He just made it look so simple.Good players make the game look effortless and he certainly did.

I see Jimmy on his debut at Barnet in the 1970's.I ran on the pitch and put my arm around him and I was in the local paper that week.I would love to find that photo.

Well if Haller was worth £46mil or whatever when he came to us as a lamppost I would suggest Jimmy would be about £200mil right now :lol:

Mooros old drinking partner
A wonderful striker who unfortunately come to us in his twilight years.
Two goals on his debut for us if I recall?

All the best Jim.
