Former Tottenham and Chelsea striker Jimmy Greaves MBE, known as one of the greatest goalscorers English football has ever produced, has died at the age of 81.
Spurs announced that their all-time record goalscorer and one of their greatest players in the club’s history passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Nicknamed ‘Greavsie’, he was the greatest goalscorer of his generation, scoring 447 goals across his club career including an unrivalled 220 for Tottenham, 132 strikes for fellow London club Chelsea and 44 goals in 57 games for England.
During his career at Tottenham, Greaves won the FA Cup twice during the 1960s and helped Spurs to the European Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1962-63 season. His contributions to football also earned him an MBE in December of last year, thanks to a Sportsmail campaign to award him the gong.
