Yes what a great double act were Jimmy greaves and Ian st John I use to watch Saint and greavsy every week I thought it was a brilliant programme Jimmy greaves and Ian st John were legends
@@jamescarr4662 You *are* missing something. Weather forecasters are equally incompetent to talk about the mechanics behind weather forecasting. Jimmy just called them out on it.
Greatest natural goalscorer there as ever been, is stats are incredible, and the biggest sadness in his career was being dropped for the the world cup Final, in England's finest hour, the historic world cup success of 1966...........Legendary striker Jimmy Greaves.....The Best
He was injured he says this himself and its in CZcams somewhere. He had a deep cut in his heel needing stitches or something similar. Its others since the final that say he was dropped. He had no hard feelings
Alf was proved right though. Geoff Hurst scores the perfect t hat trick (left foot, right foot and head) in the WC bloody final. No one else has EVER done that!
@@jmichael4002 As a Tottenham supporter he was one of my favourite players of all time. Hopefully it's a good match for Jimmy today between two of his former clubs and he'll get a nice send off from both sets of supporters too
It's like that here in Scotland. They try to be big personalities and to promote their own agendas. Forecasting the weather seems to be beyond their abilities too often.
Between Greavsie and Cloughie you have the very best of firing straight from the hip, telling it like it is - and if it's the truth and it hurts, so much the better. You don't change things by cloaking them for the comfort of the listener.
I met him once and he is. Very approachable. He was opening a shop in Manchester Arndale Centre. Met Jimmy White in similar circumstances. Again, a very nice bloke.
@Inner Light Of Ourselves He may have done on another occasion but it was definitely the late Trish Williamson that bore the brunt at TV-AM around that time. Ulrika Jonsson didn't become the weather forecaster at TV-AM until 1989.
Jimmy lived down the road from us and our village was carnage after the storm. Maybe because we were the only hill for miles around but it was really bad! We didn't have power for a week and the sound of chainsaws was the sound of my childhood as the clean up went on for month after month
The year climate change became a discussion in my view was here in 1987. Jimmy is sort of is pointing this out and the seriousness of it in a very straightforward way , bright bloke , very sharp ! RIP
Before political correctness and everything and everyone was labelled as racist . Seems a different world . I would love to live through these times again .
Well said My Greaves . Even back then they had fools on morning tv and LOADS off them . JIMMY GREAVES IS NOT ONE OFF THEM . GET WELL SOON MR GREAVES 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Greavsie's sense of raconteurship and comic timing here is wonderful. He puts many of the so-called 'professional' stand up acts of today from Live At The Apollo (and who only get laughs by talking about sexual matters, or using cuss words) to absolute shame. If he had never made it as a footballer, he would have been a natural comedian. Top man too.
I could predict the weather in Britain . Damp cold windy dreary absolute crap grey , for 10 months of the year that’s why we all go to Spain to complain it’s to fackin warm
Great rant on meteorologists. 30 years later, they're a little better, but with all their fancy computer models and satellite and radar equipment, they're still wrong a lot of the time.
wr70beh Thing is, it's not even about the meteorology , it's just about keeping people happy and buying shit. All summer the weather was crap but every time I check the forecast was good for the coming days... I felt like a donkey chasing a carrot
Aye. I always laugh when the say nowadays, the weather is going to be changeable. Changeable what does that mean haha. It means you dont know what its going to do and what its going to change to the day after.
He was eight or nine years sober in this interview but in the 70s he was drinking 20 pints of beer and a bottle of vodka every day, so you could argue the biggest miracle is that he was still alive
Just so true, real men call a spade a spade, i can recall going to school in the 60s where we had 2 foot of snow, but we still got to school, you traipse your way by leaving 10 mins earlier, today we are breeding a bunch of wimps
Saw his 1st game in a Spurs shirt at Plymouth for reserves in Dec 61 and he scored in front of 12000 fans at Home Park Argyles 2nd biggest crowd that season Spurs won 5-1
Nowts changed in 31 years. that Carol on morning BBC spends more time in the studio and at Wimbledon fortnight than outside reporting the weather. Get out there and fkg do your job. They all think they should be on Strictly nowadays.
It's a funny old Met Office.

Jimmy Greaves was a top fella. Not many people have a bad word about him.
Absolutely brilliant. Radio Hilversum got a few more listeners after this.

He's not ! 😥

No bullshit tolerated by Greavsie, a genuine man
Your spot on he told it how it was a lot of people don’t like that
Trouble is he is completely incompetent to talk about the mechanics behind weather forecasting, unless I'm missing something..

Yes but all the opposition had to do to put him off was mention the weather forecast & Jimmy would go nuts 🙈
He was injured he says this himself and its in CZcams somewhere. He had a deep cut in his heel needing stitches or something similar. Its others since the final that say he was dropped. He had no hard feelings

@THE QUIET MAN 1958 he was deemed fit for the final but Hurst was preferred.
How about ‘not selected’ instead of ‘dropped’?
Rip
Greavsie's the main man.. Wonderful character..
That's the problem. Everyone complains about the weather but nobody ever does anything about it.
RIP Jimmy
Brilliant footballer and broadcaster
Good on yer Greavsie. Well said
A proper gent. Telling it how it is but in a dignified and calm manner. Legend RIP

Nice words. Agreed

@@johnjohns6181 Interesting fact John but how does that relate to my comment in any way?
I remember Jimmy's reaction to Julian Clarey... Julian said Jimmy was drunk !!
It's like that here in Scotland. They try to be big personalities and to promote their own agendas. Forecasting the weather seems to be beyond their abilities too often.
Well said, The Equalizer 👏🏻 😉😄
Absolutely brilliant, only one Jimmy top man
RIP Sir Jimmy. Sorry to hear the sad news.

Hurricanes are huge rotating tropical storms but what we got in 87 was hurricane force winds.
What’s your point.
@@markredmond59 the great storm of 87 wasn't a hurricane.
@@BigDuke6ixx where did I say it was.
@@markredmond59 I'm commenting on dear old Greavsie's (RIP) statement.
So it was hurricane force winds. Good enough then.
He was right about there being no forecast of it, in fact there was the complete opposite.
The ability to work in Minder and The bill into a discussion about forecasting the weather is amazing!!!
What a lovely time to be alive in England. When inaccurate weather is what makes your blood boil. Simpler times
He speaking his mind. You can’t do that today
Yeah he's really speaking truth to power against...errrrr weathermen.
@@sratus The Brexity comments under this video are properly hilarious. 'Bloody Met Office! Too woke and lefty to tell us the real weather these days!'
Always been an ambition of mine to meet Jimmy Greaves. Seems such a nice man.

Well said Greavsie. It's even worse these days.
Back then it was best guess.
Greatest weather man we ever had
I remember that very well. Poor TV-AM weathergirl Trish WIlliamson got it in the neck that week!

He is talking about weather - How can that be labelled remotely racist?
Ha, the days before political correctness, all gone up in smoke, ops smoking is not allowed.
It seems a fine line between Alan Sugar and Jimmy Greaves.
It would do to a Russian
Except Greaves is a Spurs legend.
RIP Jimmy the Legend Greaves
Did you see that brilliant goal he scored against Man Utd once? The Met office is in my home city now and has been for ages!

Still musnt grumble
Predicting the future is very hard Jim. RIP.
maybe they are taking money under false pretences
So glad that interviewer was cut off before his glib
PC response went any further.

A true "Old Man Yells At Clouds" moment there with Greavsie. Saying that, no faulting his logic
Theses were the days when sports men didn’t give a fuck after retirement..Jim is only in his mid forties here, he looks at least 65
Wow same age as me now. He looks like he is far off 70 omg 😲
@@mogg34y nuts in isn't? Hes also Probably the greatest English player of all time but never gets talked about because he missed the 66 world cup

Sounds like a compliment about the man behind the curtain.
That's why we've had to put up with Gary Lineker.Jimmy spoke to us all.....cancelled!11
He'd love the world now would Greavsie, left is right, up is down, pregnant blokes, racist milk, he'd love it
Racist milk lol

Go on Jimmy lad!
He was right , worse now , everyone wants to be celeb on Telly
and they still cant get the forecast right nearly 35 years on ...
Jimmy Greaves was 47 here. What the hell was in the water back then?
seventiesmovies He was an Alcoholic.

I made similar observations about Bruce Forsythe, when he was in his 30s he looked like he was in his 50s.

He's talking about Harry Kane
Brilliant! Lol & Spot on, as a player Kane couldn't carry Greavsie's Jock strap!
It's a funny old weather system..
Well said Jimmy lad
That moustache is glorious
The greatest
Jimmy is totally spot on then and guess what, they are still the same !
I forgot he used to do the tele reviews.
1987 ????
Christ Jim, if only you could see 2024 LOL!
Old skool honesty!
What wasn't shown was that the original question to him was, what did he think about Arsenal beating Tottenham at the weekend?
The reason us British are obsessed with weather is because we can get all 4 seasons in 4 hours!
Why would he know anything about the weather forecasting profession?
The bed of Heaven to the man
So true, and still true to this day. Well said Jimmy! He was a Great!
R .I.P Jimmy TV Am Saint and Greavsie
Oh what a storm in a tea cup probably one Jim’s pissed days haha
This must be what GB News is like all the time.
Jimmy transferring that World Cup medal episode onto the MetOffice here......1966.....England’s glory......jumpers for goal posts......

He's having a go at weather forecasters for being wrong, not at schools closing because it's snowed. You've projected your views onto him.
Jimmy was entitled to be angry. Peoples lives are at risk when weather forecasts fail to warn of dangerous conditions.
🕊 He predicts global warming 🌞
