Jimmy Greaves was hailed as the "best goalscorer to ever play" after the former Tottenham Hotspur and England striker died aged 81 yesterday.

Greaves, Tottenham's all-time leading scorer, suffered a stroke in 2015 which left him wheelchair-bound and with severely impaired speech. One of the game's great characters, Greaves, who also starred for Chelsea during an iconic career, died at home yesterday.
