The greatest goalscorer the country has ever produced, a phenomenon.

RIP Jimmy

he was such a unique man. Hugely talented footballer, but also someone with a cutting wit that was very funny in all the years that he presented with Ian in the saint and greavsey

Martin Tyler compares him with Messi.

Interesting what Martin says about his goals for England and penalties.
