Jimmy Greaves: West Ham lead tributes for former striker

West Ham led the tributes for their former player Jimmy Greaves, who has died aged 81.

On what will be an emotional day across football grounds, the Hammers held a minute's applause before their Premier League match against Manchester United. A minute's applause also took place at the Amex Stadium before Brighton's game with Leicester City.

Players from all four teams wore black armbands for Greaves, who holds the record for most goals in the English top flight with 357. Tottenham, for whom Greaves is the record goalscorer, and another of his former clubs Chelsea play each other at 16:30 BST on Sunday.
