This week brings the milestone 80th birthday of our all-time record goalscorer Jimmy Greaves – and we’ll be marking the occasion at our home Champions League fixture against RB Leipzig.

Arguably the greatest striker ever to grace the game, ‘Greavsie’ set countless records during an incredible playing career, many of which still stand to this day.

Collecting two FA Cups and the European Cup Winners’ Cup during his nine years with us between 1961 and 1970, Jimmy’s haul of 266 goals in 379 competitive appearances in our colours remains a Club best.

League records also tumbled during his career – nobody has ever scored more top-flight goals (357) or top-scored in Division One in more seasons (six) than our former striker, who began his career at Chelsea before joining us via a brief spell at AC Milan for a famous £99,999 fee in December, 1961.
