Tottenham and England legend Jimmy Greaves has returned home after spending a week in hospital near his home in Chelmsford.
Greaves is 80 and has struggled with his health since he had a stroke in 2015.
He requires professional care four times a day and his nurses were concerned by his condition when they attended his home in Essex on Tuesday, April 7 and called for an ambulance which took him to hospital in nearby Chelmsford. He did not have any symptoms associated with coronavirus.
But his son Andy has revealed that the legendary striker has recovered enough to return home
He said: 'Mum was delighted to welcome Dad home last night (Tuesday) and we can't thank the doctors and nurses, and all the NHS staff who cared for him, enough.
'He hasn't been a well man for some time but the way he keeps fighting everything that comes at him continues to make us proud.
'As well as all those who have cared for Dad in the past week, and in the past five years, we would like to thank the public for their support.
'Dad has been touched by all the messages we have been able to pass on — it means a lot to him and to us as a family.'
