Jimmy Greaves

JIMMY GREAVES WAS simply a goal scoring genius. In a career playing for Chelsea, AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and England, he scored goals wherever he went.

He played 57 times for England, scoring 44 times, including four hat-tricks! Jimmy was in the England Squad for the 1966 World Cup but was dropped in favour of Geoff Hurst. Hurst, of course, scored a hat-trick himself in the final.
