Greaves won two FA Cups and the European Cup Winners' Cup, while also represented Chelsea, AC Milan and West Ham United, among other clubs.

He is survived by wife Irene, four children, 10 grandchildren and his great-grandchildren.

I would like to pass my condolences on to the family and friends of Jimmy Greaves, my one football hero. He gave me positive, unforgettable memories from watching him play for Tottenham Hotspur on the East Terrace of White Hart Lane throughout the 1960s.

Jimmy Greaves was my football hero, although i was a Coventry kid i saw him play many many times at White Hart Lane and all over. The photo i took of Jimmy at White Hart Lane from the crowd, playing Wolves i think. The photo was framed and given to him by Tony Ward (referee) Malcolm Ellis (82)
