RIP. Before my time, but clearly a great player and so unlucky to have been injured in the group stages in 1966. I only really knew him from watching Saint and Greavsie as a kid.
81 seems a good innings considering his battles with the bottle and health issues in later life. Seems to have had an interesting life post-football also.

RIP.
Also just before my time, and remember him from Saint and Greavsie growing up.
His goal scoring record is astonishing
It’s appropriate that Spurs v Chelsea play today, so both clubs can pay their respects.
44 – His international goals, fourth on England’s all-time list behind Wayne Rooney, Sir Bobby Charlton and Gary Lineker.
57 – caps for his country, far fewer than any other England player with 40 or more goals.
6 – international hat-tricks, still a record. That includes four-goal hauls against Northern Ireland in 1963 and Norway in 1966.
41 – league goals for Chelsea in the 1960-61 season, during which he turned 21
266 – goals in his 10 years at Tottenham, making him the club’s record scorer. He is also seventh on Chelsea’s all-time list with 132.
5 – major honours won in his career – the 1966 World Cup with England, two FA Cups and a European Cup Winners’ Cup with Spurs and a Serie A title with Milan

Can't argue with his goalscoring stats.
I saw him play in his alcoholic era for Barnet against Bridgend Town.
