This is this first of 2 books back that I bought for 10p each from a local charity shop about a month ago.
I sent this to Jimmy Greaves on the 24th of January, Today the book has been returned to me signed by the greatest striker of his era...Playing 321 games for Spurs scoring 220 goals, 157 games for Chelsea scroing 124 goals and not forgetting the 44 goals in the 57 appearances for England. This is from the Stanley Paul book collection, hardbacked first edition from 1966 titled " My World of Soccer" and although the dust cover is a little tatty..this signed book will sit proudly along the other signed books I have from this era, Ray Wilson, The Carlton Brothers, George Eastham, Jimmy Armfield, Peter Bonetti to name a few.
Along with the 10p the book cost me all the stamps had been recycled to get the book to him and back to me...so did not have much too loose here...What a fantastic graph Jimmy has added to the title page and in Biro.
James Peter 'Jimmy' Greaves (born 20 February 1940 in East Ham, England) is an English former football player, England's third highest international goalscorer, the highest goalscorer in the history of English top flight football and more recently a television pundit - famous for his trademark catchphrase it's a funny old game. He is considered to be one of the finest goalscorers of his generation.
Thank you very very much Jimmy Greaves..one of the boys from '66. And thank you Royal Mail for not franking these stamps again.
Now for the 100 or so E-mails..................
