Greaves scored 266 goals for Tottenham in all competitions between 1961 and 1970. He had previously netted 132 goals during just four seasons with Chelsea.
His total of 357 league goals is a record for the English top flight.
He is fourth on the all-time list for England’s national team with 44 goals.
Tottenham said ”we are in touch with his family and will provide further updates in due course.
