Chivers also had long spell with Southampton
He scored 13 times in 24 games for England
The former Tottenham, Southampton and England striker Martin Chivers has died at the age of 80. Chivers, a League Cup and Uefa Cup winner with Spurs, won 24 caps from 1971 to 1973, scoring 13 goals.
“It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our legendary former striker Martin Chivers,” Spurs said. “We extend our deepest sympathies to Martin’s family, friends and former teammates at this incredibly sad time. Our players will wear black armbands during this evening’s fixture against AFC Bournemouth. Rest in peace, Martin. One of the all-time greats.”
Chivers started his career with his home-city club Southampton, making his debut in 1962, and joined Spurs in 1968. After a long, successful spell there he moved to Switzerland to play for Servette, where he won further honours, before returning to England to play for clubs including Norwich and Brighton.
