Jimmy Greaves was one of the greatest goalscorers English football has produced, a striker of impeccable timing and cool finishing who made scoring look effortless. He was prolific at Chelsea and then Tottenham, where he became the club’s record marksman with a stream of instinctive goals.
A member of England’s 1966 World Cup squad, he was famously left out of the final through injury. His scoring record across the top flight remains remarkable, and he later became a much-loved broadcaster.
