Professional athlete and sportscaster. James Peter Greaves MBE was an English professional footballer who played as a forward. He is England's fifth-highest international goal scorer (44 goals), Tottenham Hotspur's highest ever goal scorer (266 goals), the highest goal scorer in the history of English top-flight football (357 goals), and also scored more hat-tricks (six) for England than anyone else. He finished as the First Division's top scorer in six seasons. He is also a member of the English Football Hall of Fame. He began his professional career at Chelsea in 1957, and played in the following year's FA Youth Cup final. He scored 124 First Division goals in just four seasons before being sold on to Italian club A.C. Milan for £80,000 in April 1961. His stay in Italy was not a happy one and he returned to England with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £99,999 in December 1961. Whilst with Spurs he won the FA Cup in 1961–62 and 1966–67, the Charity Shield in 1962 and 1967, and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1962–63; he never won a league title but did help Spurs to a second-place finish in 1962–63. He moved to West Ham United in a player-exchange in March 1970 and retired the following year. He scored 13 goals in 12 England under-23 internationals and scored 44 goals in 57 full England internationals between 1959 and 1967. He played in the 1962 and 1966 FIFA World Cup, but was injured in the group stage of the 1966 World Cup and lost his first team place to Geoff Hurst, who kept Greaves out of the first team in the final. England won the World Cup, but Greaves was not given his medal until a change of FIFA rules in 2009. He was also part of the squad that finished third in UEFA Euro 1968, although he did not play any minute in the finals. After retiring as a player he went on to enjoy a successful career in broadcasting, most notably working alongside Ian St John on Saint and Greavsie from 1985 to 1992. He married Irene Barden at Romford register office on 26 March 1958 though the pair went through a divorce process at the height of his alcoholism, it was never finalized and they reunited after three months apart. The couple renewed their vows on 7 September 2017 in Danbury, Essex. They had five children; Jimmy Jr (who died before his first birthday), Mitzi , Danny (who was a professional footballer with Southend United), and Andrew.
