Description

One of the most naturally gifted and prolific strikers of any era, Jimmy Greaves was born to score goals and in an iconic career that spanned three glorious decades, that is exactly what he did with an unerring regularity for club and country. Greaves was simply sensational in front of goal and from the moment he marked his debut for Chelsea as a 17-year-old in 1957 with a goal, it was obvious he was destined for great things. He spent four seasons at Stamford Bridge and scored an incredible 124 times in just 157 appearances. It was, however, in the famous white of Tottenham Hotspur that he was to truly establish himself as one of the game's greats. Signed by Bill Nicholson in 1961 after a brief and unhappy sojourn in Italy with AC Milan, Greaves found his spiritual home at White Hart Lane and his arrival in north London was the beginning of a nine-year love affair between the player and the club. The striker lit up the old First Division with Spurs, finishing the league's top scorer in four separate seasons and his goals helped the club to lift the FA Cup in 1962 and 1967. In 1963, he was part of the Tottenham team who became the first British side to lift a European trophy after they famously beat Atletico Madrid 5-1 in the final of the Cup Winners' Cup. He left Spurs aged 30 in 1970 having rewritten the club's record books. In total, he scored a breathtaking 266 goals in 379 games for the Lilywhites and is still widely regarded as the greatest striker in Tottenham's illustrious history. Greaves was even more prolific in the white of England. He marked his international debut against Peru in 1959 with a goal and over the next eight years he played times for his country and scored 44 times. He is third on the all-time England goalscorers list behind Bobby Charlton and Gary Lineker but his goals per game ratio remains superior to both. Injury robbed him of the chance to play in the 1966 World Cup final but his impact on the international stage was undimmed by the cruel twist of fate and he will forever be remembered as one of England's greatest ever strikers. A pacey and powerful centre forward, Martin Chivers spent eight years at White Hart Lane and was key member of the early 1970s side that won silverware in three successive seasons under legendary manager Bill Nicholson Born in Southampton, he began his professional career with Saints but in January 1968 Nicholson decided he needed to bolster his attacking resources and signed Chivers for a then club record fee of £125,000. The deal made him the most expensive player in the country and he began replaying the club's considerable investment immediately - scoring on his debut against Sheffield Wednesday. Chivers truly blossomed at the Lane following Jimmy Greaves' departure to West Ham in 1970 and in the 1970-71 campaign he scored 21 times in the First Division, as well as scoring both goals in Spurs' 2-0 victory over Aston Villa in the final of the League Cup. Capped for the first time by England the same year, Chivers rich vein of form continued the following season. The striker scored 44 times in 64 appearances for the club, including a brace in the Uefa Cup final victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, and his place in club folklore was already assured. He added the 1973 League Cup to his collection after Norwich were beaten in the final and by the time Chivers left Spurs for Swiss side Servette in 1976, he had amassed a grand total of 367 appearances for the club, scoring 174 times. He was inducted into the Tottenham Hotspur Hall of Fame in 2007.
