Jimmy Greaves – This One’s On Me – SIGNED First Edition 1979
£175.00
A first edition, first printing of This One’s On Me by Jimmy Greaves, published by Arthur Barker, London in 1979. A fine copy signed by Greaves in black ink to the title page. In a near fine unclipped wrapper with chipping to the spine tips and knuckles of front and rear flap folds.
This One’s on Me is Jimmy Greaves’s candid autobiography, written with Norman Giller. Originally published in 1979, it looks back on his brilliant football career with Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan and England, but also deals frankly with his alcoholism and recovery. The title reflects both pub humour and personal reckoning. Honest, funny and sometimes painful, it presents Greaves not just as a great goalscorer, but as a man confronting life after fame.
