Greavsie.
This is no life for him. He doesn't want to be here': Wife of football icon and recent MBE Jimmy Greaves says he begs her to 'give him something so I can go' in heartbreaking interview raising troubling questions about end-of-life care
Jimmy Greaves, 80, greatest goalscorer in British history, was awarded an MBE
Wife Irene, 81, said the award was '20 years too late' and 'not a very good honour'
She believes Greavsie, who suffered a stroke in 2015, deserves a knighthood
Greavsie. So secure is his place in the nation's heart that the fond nickname alone identifies him. The greatest goalscorer in British football history has this week, thanks in no small part to a Daily Mail campaign, belatedly been awarded an MBE. Is this a fair acknowledgement of Jimmy Greaves's dazzling talent and contribution to sport? His wife Irene, 81, who has stood by him through triumph and tragedy, joy and sadness for more than 60 years, believes not.
