The Ghost of White Hart Lane

Spurs and Scotland star John White was one of the 1960s’ finest footballers, struck by lightning at just 27. The Ghost of White Hart Lane, based on the Sunday Times bestseller by Rob White and Julie Welch, explores his life, legacy, and family, blending humour, grief, and reflections on growing up without a father.

Based on the Sunday Times bestseller by Rob White and Julie Welch, the play was commissioned to mark 60 years since John White’s passing. This deeply personal and nostalgic story offers a fresh perspective on grief, growing up without a father, and male mental health.
