Excellent news. :clap:
I remember at the time, my dad being really outraged that Jimmy was wasn't selected, so much so that, he couldn't be bothered with England again as a result. Always Spurs first with my dad. :grin:

Yep I remember that fateful day in the final - I knew JG wouldn't be picked but for some reason my brother thought he would - so I won a tanner (2.5 new pence :) from him - the worst sixpence I ever won -

I was one of probably a few spurs who was glad when Germany made it 2-2 - I was hoping for a replay and Greavesie to get a second chance - but now I feel so much better about that fateful day - well done JG and the rest of the squad - some of whom who made a big contribution and often forgotten

mind you on the BBC website report Greavesie is less than enthusiastic :)

Still I'm pleased even if he isn't :)

Most players who took part in the final have sold them, so nowthe players that actually took part in the final have no longet got a winners medal, but those who did now have !

I wonder if they will still be as valuable ? I doubt it.

I should imagine that he won't give a flying fuck about that!

Seriously, I mean so what?!

Its like them saying they're going to give me one.

He wanted to PLAY in a WC Final not get a medal.
