Product Information
'Had John lived, he could have been one of the greatest footballers of all time' Jimmy GreavesWhen John White was killed by a bolt of lightning in 1964, the football world was rocked by the tragedy. White was just 27 years of age.Nicknamed the 'Ghost' for the way that he could drift into space undetected, White played inside-forward for the great double-winning Tottenham Hotspur side of the early sixties. British football was entering a golden period and Bill Nicholson's free-flowing Spurs side was right at the forefront. White himself was on the cusp of greatness. Appearing alongside giants of the game like Dave Mackay and Danny Blanchflower, he'd already lifted the European Cup Winners Cup for Spurs (the first European trophy won by any British side) and gained 22 caps for Scotland.White was the archetypal footballer, but he was also a devoted family man. Six months before he died, his beloved wife Sandra, gave birth to their second child, a son called Rob.Rob White never knew his father. The man who was known by hundreds of thousands of football fans across the country, was a complete stranger to him. The Ghost of White Hart Lane is the result of hisinterviews with his father's teammates, followers, and family members. Within these pages Rob White and Julie Welch have built up a portrait, not only of brilliant and gifted young man, but also of a lost era.Product Identifiers
