Does anyone know what the "London-to-Mexico World Cup Rally" is? Is this real or some kind of vandalism? Arthur Holland 13:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

It's a bit out of place but Greaves was for a time a rally car driver. Here is a short paragrph (scroll to 28th May). I was in London at the time an saw him drive by. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 13:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Splendid. That explains that. Thanks. Arthur Holland 00:03, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Would anybody be so kind of helping me contact Jimmy Greaves (James) As i think i am related to him. My name is Josh Greaves thanks.

[edit] Dixie Dean reference

"In 1960 he became the youngest ever player to score 100 league goals in English football at the age of 20 years 290 days (and at 23 was the same age as Dixie Dean when he scored his 200th)."

I'm not in the know on the player and don't want to wrongly edit, but this statement can't possibly be true. For it to be possible Dixie would have to have scored 101 league goals in the space of twelve months. Either Dixie Dean was younger when he scored his 100th, or the reference is vandalism by a sensitive Everton fan.
