His playing days were all but behind him when I was born but Saint and Greavsie was a must watch before heading to The Goldstone Ground as a lad.
RIP Jimmy.

Wonderful footballer, amongst the greatest. Excellent TV pundit too. Kind and compassionate man too apparently, spending time with Bradford fire victims in hospital away from the media glare according to my wider family, some of whom died at VP and/or hands and faces were melted in the tragedy.
RIP Jimmy, another World Cup hero gone.

A true legend. Arguably the most naturally gifted English striker of all-time and such a dry sense of humour.
He has been ill for a long time and this day has been coming. R..I.P. Jimmy.

Supremely appropriate that it is Tottenham v Chelsea today.

Your support is not that great
Hope it's a minute's applause rather than silence, assuming we mark this event at the game today.

Oh, no! My boyhood hero bar none, and I was there to see THAT goal vs. Manchester United. Very sad if not unexpected news. RIP.

A fantastic player who never quite got the respect he deserved due to missing out on the World Cup Final squad in 1966.
RIP Jimmy.
One of the greatest finishers in the game’s history.

A brilliant, brilliant player and a brilliant, brilliant man... an all too rare combination, a genuine model pro and person too... and as others have alluded to... none of the superstar trappings, and one of those people who was always smiling and positive... I wish him peace.
Rest well Jimmy.

There was a great documentary on TV about him a while back.
Another one of my earliest footballing heroes gone.

Another Albion fan who was a Spurs fan in their glory hunting youth? I recognise every player fondly on that Spurs team sheet
