A Fan Who Won't Stop Cheering
The brightest rising star in Britain's soccer firmament is 19-year-old Jimmy Greaves, the twinkling inside-forward who scored in his first Schoolboy International, his first League match, his first Under-23 International and his first full International - an unequalled 'record:
On the first day of the new season on August 22, Greaves celebrated his first match since the birth of daughter Lynn with a hat-trick for Chelsea (who nevertheless drew 4-4 with Preston).
