Jimmy Greenhoff

James "Jimmy" Greenhoff (born June 19, 1946 in Barnsley, West Riding of Yorkshire) was an English football player. He was a skilful forward and although capped by England five times at under-23 level never played for the full side.

Jimmy Greenhoff started his career as an apprentice with Leeds United, in June 1961, turning professional in August 1963. He moved to Birmingham City for £70,000 in August 1968, just after playing in the first leg of the Fairs Cup final.

He left Birmingham City in August 1969 for Stoke City in a deal worth £100,000. While at Stoke City he was a member of the 1972 League Cup winning team, and scored 76 goals in 274 league appearances before being sold to Manchester United in November 1976 for £120,000. While with Manchester United, he helped the club win the 1977 FA Cup (and notably denied Liverpool FC The Treble) and played alongside his brother Brian Greenhoff, who also later played for Leeds United, signing in 1979. He won the Supporters' Player of the Year award in 1979. Greenhoff scored 36 goals in 123 appearances (including 4 substitute appearances) for Manchester United before leaving to join Crewe Alexandra in December 1980.

He moved to NASL side Toronto Blizzard in March 1981, returning to the UK to play for Port Vale that August. He left Port Vale in March 1983 to join Rochdale where he was player-manager up to March 1984, after which he returned to Port Vale as a coach.
