Jimmy Greaves, one of England’s greatest goal-scorers who was prolific for Tottenham, Chelsea and AC Milan has died. He was 81.
With 266 goals in 379 appearances, Greaves was the all-time record scorer for Tottenham, which announced his death on 19th September.
“Throughout his wonderful playing career, Jimmy’s strike rate was phenomenal,” Tottenham said.
Greaves suffered a minor stroke in 2012 and his family thought he had made a full recovery until he was admitted to intensive care after a more severe stroke in May 2015.
An all-round striker equally adept with either foot or his head, Greaves scored 44 goals in just 57 matches for England.
But even though Greaves was the first player to lead scoring in England’s top league for three straight seasons and hit a record six hat-tricks for England, he is arguably best known for one game he missed - the World Cup final.
