Jimmy Greaves leaves hospital, confirms England legend's agent

Former England and Tottenham striker Jimmy Greaves has left hospital just over a month after suffering a severe stroke.

Greaves, 75, was admitted into intensive care on May 3 but his friend and agent Terry Baker has now confirmed Greaves "has left hospital and entered a rehabilitation unit for the next few weeks."

Baker added in a statement on Facebook: "He has improved considerably but there is still a very long way to go."

Greaves scored 44 goals for England -- the fourth-highest total of all time -- and also netted 266 goals in 379 matches for Spurs.
