Former England striker Jimmy Greaves has left hospital after suffering a stroke in May.

Greaves's agent posted a statement on social media saying that the 75-year-old has moved into a rehabilitation unit and is in a stable condition.

"Jimmy has left hospital and entered a rehabilitation unit for the next few weeks. He has improved considerably but there is still a very long way to go," the statement said.

"We are still getting lots of people asking how he is on a daily basis.

"Famous friends and fans alike have all been fantastic. Jim wants me to thank everyone for their concern and the love you have all shown him and I'm sure you will all continue to do so. Thanks everyone."

Greaves, who scored 266 goals in 379 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur, also played for Chelsea, AC Milan and West Ham United.

He scored 44 goals for England, and was part of the 1966 World Cup-winning squad.
