Jimmy Greaves has died at the age of 81.
The Tottenham and England legend passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning, with his former club Spurs announcing it on social media.
Greaves had been suffering from poor health since a stroke in 2015 and now the greatest goalscorer English football has ever seen has, sadly, slipped away.
It is not for the first time.
On the most hallowed of all days for English football the most prolific goalscorer in the history of our national game was nowhere to be seen as Bobby Moore and his boys of the summer of 66 celebrated this country’s only winning of the World Cup.
