I agree, so if sadly the rumours are true and he IS ill - what can we do for him? I know we had a whip-round for Sully, so is it feasible/desirable to do one for him?

A wonderful player, sad to hear that he's unwell.
I seem to remember that in that game away at Swindon he chased down a lost cause ball (and possibly put in a cross that resulted in an Albion goal?).
That commitment stuck in my mind and I still use it as a benchmark as to whether a player is giving their all, or not.

Remember watching him at the Goldstone and he was brilliant at the time, by far different class to what we had in those darker days. Best wishes to him

Friday night match. Seem to remember going to the National the next day. Might have been the day before the Poll Tax Riots.
One of my favourite Goldstone goals. Flair.
Very sad news. I met Sergei and his family during his stint with us and laughed with him about THAT goal celebration, though he could not speak English nor I Russian. Played football with one of his kids, and I think Sergei must have learnt a few tricks from me….. 
I was gutted when he left us for Southampton.
Just hope and pray that things go as well for him as they possibly can.

Fond memories of, he brought so much excitement to our club it’s hard to convey now looking back. Sending my very best wishes to a very special player. A legendary figure to a generation of Albion fans.
Just covered, briefly, on ITV South.
Hard to believe SG’s 65 years of age, his playing days seem like yesterday. In that era, we felt so lucky to have a great talent.
A terrible disease, I hope the meds give him a decent quality of life for many years to come.

Reminds me how unfunny Greaves was. I was a BBC Bob Wilson man.
