Jimmy Greaves
I remember watching a show hosted by Dickie Davies with George best and possibly Alan Ball years ago.They were talking about the great goalscorers and Best remarked that Greaves was a "genius" in the box.

which is not to say greaves was as good all-round as messi, who will soon overtake him as the highest goalscorer in the five major leagues... but some of his work in the penalty area looks similar.
