"If you didn't know much about the Double side, or dad, and presented the story as a work of
fiction, people would say it's great but the ending's not right. It's too far-fetched."
Rob White is talking about a journalist's reaction to the Ghost of White Hart Lane, the book
about his father John he has co-written with author and screenwriter Julie Welch.
Hot on the heels of ‘In Search of Alan Gilzean', comes another must read for any Spurs fan.
The Ghost of White Hart Lane
is written by Rob White, son of John and tells the story of his quest to learn about the father
that he never knew.
John White played his part in all the great triumphs of the early 1960's; the 60/61 double
season, the 1962 FA Cup and the 1963 European Cup Winners Cup, where he scored in our famous win
over Atletico Madrid.
All white on the night! Wolverhampton Well the neutrals are having a field day again: goalmouth
action; inept defending; three classic strikes; penalties; disallowed goals; red card escapes; late
equalisers; controversy, and amongst that lot somewhere some almost decent football and both teams
lucky to get a point and unlucky not to win.
