Tottenham have no plans to commission a statue for Jimmy Greaves despite club legend's tragic death aged 81... with the club not backing down on memorials policy while fans ask for a lasting tribute

Tottenham have no plans to change their policy on statues, amid pleas from fans for the club to produce a lasting memorial for Jimmy Greaves.

Unlike many of their Premier League rivals, Spurs have no statues of former players around the new stadium at White Hart Lane and do not intend to commission any in the near future.

There is a bust of legendary manager Bill Nicholson but they prefer to celebrate their illustrious history with various living legends who act as ambassadors.
