Spurs legends swing for charity at Jimmy Greaves Golf Day

A host of legends from the world of football teed it up at Hadley Wood Golf Club last month to take part in a golf day to honour the late Jimmy Greaves, the legendary Tottenham and England striker who passed away in 2021.

Fifteen former Spurs players took part in the day, including Glenn Hoddle and Michael Dawson, while a host of stars from the world of sport such as boxing legend John Conteh also teed it up at the North London club.

Sponsored by bed and furniture makers Duxiana, Tottenham Hotspur’s Official Sleep Partner, the event supported many charities that were close to Greaves’s heart, including Micky Hazard’s Legend on the Bench, a charity assisting people with mental health issues; Graham Roberts’ Centre Algarve, which provides holidays for families with disabled children, and the Justin Edinburgh 3 Foundation, in memory of Jimmy’s friend and former Southend United teammate Justin Edinburgh.

THE WINNERS

At the end of a great day’s golf the team event was won by Uniserve, whose number included former West Ham player Stuart Slater.

Additional prizes were awarded for the longest drive, with the winner receiving a Jetson chair worth £5,000, while the nearest the pin prize was a £16,000 Duxiana bed.

Participants also enjoyed an exclusive opportunity to interact with Spurs legends during the awards presentation and dinner.

Reflecting on the origins of the event, Jimmy’s son, Danny Greaves, said: “It all started some 20 years ago when dad, my brother Andy, and his closest friend Brian went off to play golf in Le Touquet.

What began as a family weekend quickly grew into an annual event where we played for a small silver trophy worth £2.50, yet everyone was eager to have their name engraved on it and claim the title of ‘Golfer of the Year’.

Dad won the trophy three times which seemed to give him as much joy as winning the FA Cup.”

“After Dad suffered a severe stroke, we initiated the Jimmy Greaves Golf Day, supported by his professional colleagues from Tottenham who had long admired him. Following dad’s passing in 2021, we then established the Jimmy Greaves Foundation.

GLENN HODDLE AND DANNY GREAVES

This year, thanks to the generosity of Duxiana, we are thrilled to support the charities his fellow professionals are involved in, as a token of our gratitude for their support over the past five years.”

Former Spurs player Michael Dawson said: “I had the privilege of meeting Jimmy once during a visit to the training centre. He was a true gentleman.

The Jimmy Greaves Foundation is a fitting tribute to a great man. We have all had a great day. It was especially good to see so many former Spurs players.”
