On Sunday, the English football community learned about a painful loss - legendary England national team striker, as well as former "Chelsea" and "Tottenham" striker Jimmy Greaves passed away. J. Greaves was one of those players who triumphed in the World Cup with the England national team in 1966. In total, during his career, the striker scored 44 goals in 57 matches playing for England. In his time, J. Greaves was a true goal-scoring machine. He is also the record holder at "Tottenham" club - scoring 37 goals in one club league season, and a total of 266 goals playing for "Spurs" throughout his career, which is also a club record. The Englishman finished his career at the age of 31, but during that time he played in Italy and England, scoring a total of 366 goals across five of Europe's strongest leagues - a record that was only surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2016/17 season. Today, J. Greaves was also honored by almost every English club on social media, as well as before the "Tottenham-Chelsea" and "West Ham-Man United" matches.
