"We are extremely saddened to learn of the passing of the great Jimmy Greaves. We extend our deepest sympathies to Jimmy's family and friends at this sad time. "Rest in peace, Jimmy."The statement ended: "Football will not see his like again." https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/1439514872702808064?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet Across his career, 'Greavsie' scored 447 goals and was the greatest striker of his generation.

He leaves behind his wife Irene, their four children, 10 grandchildren and great grandchildren.
