David Rocastle Remembered: 10 Years On
The midfielder – as loved for his warmth and charm off the pitch as for his skilful contribution
to two title-winning sides on it – passed away a decade ago.
The day of his passing, 31 March 2001, happened to coincide with another north London derby. There
were fears that the planned minute's silence would not be observed, given the rivalry between the
two sides, and even David Pleat, then caretaker manager of Tottenham had advised the referee, Paul
Durkin, to blow his whistle to bring it to an end as soon as any there was any interruption from
the crowd.
