The Daily Mail have revealed that a whole host of Tottenham Hotspur legends attended the funeral for legendary footballer Jimmy Greaves this afternoon.
Greaves, who scored 266 goals in 379 games for Tottenham, a club record that still stands tall today, passed away at home on September 19.
The legendary striker, who won the FA Cup twice and the European Cup-Winners’ Cup at Spurs, also played for Chelsea in his career, and both teams honoured him ahead of their London derby last month.
Greaves scored 44 goals in 57 senior appearances for England, the fourth-highest in Three Lions history.
He was a member of the 1966 World Cup-winning squad, although he famously did not feature in the final victory over West Germany.
The Mail have revealed that Ossie Ardiles, Micky Hazard, Steve Perryman, Graham Roberts, Martin Chivers and Paul Miller were at the service at Chelmsford Crematorium in Essex.
Additionally, television sports presenter Gary Newbon and former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp were also in attendance.
