Emotional return to the Lane for Greavsie

One of the best goalscorers ever seen in world football, Jimmy spent nine years at the Club after joining us from AC Milan in December, 1961.

In that time, 'Greavsie' scored 266 goals in 379 appearances for us in the Football League, FA Cup, League Cup and Europe, lifting two FA Cups (1962, 1967) and the European Cup Winners Cup (1963) along the way.

Jimmy remains our record all-time goalscorer, 58 goals ahead of Bobby Smith (1955-64), his strike partner in his first seasons at Spurs, and the highest all-time goalscorer in the top flight of English football (Division One/Premier League) with 357 league goals for Chelsea, Spurs and West Ham.
