I only remember him towards the end of his career but he was a great player. RIP.

wasn't he the player that stood in front of Stepney when Pat Jennings scored in the Charity Shield?

He's particularly ingrained in my memory as he formed part of my not particularly extensive early 1970s football card collection. I believe it was this one..

I don’t think there’s a player these days that is remotely similar to Gilzean. Master of the glancing header, languid in style - Berbatov came closest in recent years.

I remember him more with Chivers than Greaves but an excellent player none the less. RIP.

Exactly and utterly spot on. Berbatov instantly and only springs to mind. :thumbsup:
