It's really not necessary. "In 1966 we knew you'd only get a medal if you played. Those were the rules. I've never been bitter." He was probably too drunk to realise he hadn't been given one. nlag Greaves is still bitter about the fact he wasn't the hero.....Big headed twit.

He was a striker, and hadn't scored any goals Cockney White nlag wrote: Why? He was a striker, and hadn't scored any goals He'd been injured, hence no goals to that point, but he was our best striker at the time and should have played. nlag I think he played at least 2 games before getting injured, and didn't score. Hunt and Hurst worked......Anyhow, you weren't even born, so what do you know? Cockney White I know enough about Greaves to know that if he was playing today there wouldn't be enough money around to buy him. PS It would be boring if we could only comment on things that have happened since we were born, wouldn't it? nlag He was a talent, a loaner, not a team player, selfish, and a drunk.....Similar in many ways to Best, but from a different era.....History shows that Ramsey got the selection right on the day. He picked Hurst despite a clamour from the press to revert to a fit again Greaves. Fair play to Ramsey, had England lost, and Hurst not performed, Ramsey would have been hung out to dry.....Shame Greaves chose not to hang out to dry, given his talent. nlag breaksyourlegs How quaint....Black and white tele picture wewantourdarbyback well we won without him, so as far as i can see Alf Ramsey was vindicated in not picking him wewantourdarbyback nlag wrote: breaksyourlegs How quaint....Black and white tele picture I was about to say, can we get back to Norman getting a medal?

You never know, Greaves may have hit a double hat-trick in the final, making extra-time totally unnecessary..There was clamour for his inclusion for good reason.. nlag That is a silly argument, as well you know What about if Greaves had started, had failed to score.....Again. Then Hurst comes on with 2 minutes to go, when we are losing 2 - 1 and gets a hatrick?.....How about that!

And you call my argument silly..What if they had been all-square after ET and penalties and had to be separated by a series of drinking games..Ramsey's selection policy would have looked pretty darn stupid then, wouldn't it..huh..?! Bobby Moore choosing Tizer as his tipple, Bobby Charlton milk, George Cohen abstaining because it was a Saturday, etc. nlag Jackie would have out drunk 'em all and then have to carry Greaves home. Then in the fall out, Ramsey gets sacked. In the confusion, a snap election is called and Harold Wilson's Labour party bring the nation to its knees with strikes and 3 day weeks. Next, the Tories get in and some wet limp wristed batchelor joins the Common Market. Unbeknown to him, President Pompidou has been watching the world cup farce, and hatches a plan to invade Britain, not with the gun, but with stealth....Next thing we know, the German's are reunified, and rather than them invading Poland, Poland invades us....All too late.....All down to Greaves and Ramsey.... nlag wewantourdarbyback wrote: I was about to say, can we get back to Norman getting a meddle?
