LONDON (AP) -- Former England striker Jimmy Greaves is ''conscious but unable to speak'' after a severe stroke, his agent, Terry Baker, said Tuesday.
The 75-year-old Greaves is in intensive care after being admitted on Sunday following his second stroke in three years.
Greaves faces a ''long period of rehabilitation,'' his wife, Irene, said in a statement.
''Jimmy is having to do what he is told, and understands the seriousness of what has happened to him,'' his wife said. ''It is going to be a long, slow road to recovery and he is in the best possible hands.
