The former England striker Jimmy Greaves, one of the game's greatest goalscorers and characters, has died, his former club SpursOfficial announced. PremierLeague TOTCHE | IOLsport
His strike rate was phenomenal as he scored 356 goals in England's top flight, a record which still stands.
For Tottenham, he returned 266 goals in 379 appearances between 1961 and 1970. The 37 league goals that he netted in the 1962/63 season has yet to be bettered by a Spurs player in a single season. Greaves began his career with Chelsea, scoring on debut in 1957 against Spurs -- his 41-goal haul in the First Division in 1960/61 still stands as Chelsea’s record for a single season.
A brief spell at AC Milan followed -- where he netted nine time in 14 games -- before he returned to England to join Spurs. He later played for West Ham before retiring from the game and going into television punditry.
