A complete account of my search for my father would take a lifetime to tell because that's how long I've been looking. Spurs and Scotland star John White was one of the best footballers of the 1960s. However, in July 1964 he was struck by lightning and killed at 27 years-old. From humble beginnings growing up just outside Edinburgh, through to football fame and his tragic death, the play shares John's cheeky humour. It also follows the story of his son Rob White, who was just five months old when his dad died. The play shines a light on the mental health challenges both father and son face and the way we deal with grief and loss. Martin Murphy's The Ghost of White Hart Lane was originally produced by Bruised Sky Productions and supported by Tottenham Hotspur FC. It was commissioned by John White's son Rob and follows on from his and Julie Welch's Sunday Times bestselling biography The Ghost of White Hart Lane - 'In Search of My Father the Football Legend'. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in July 2024 before the subsequent run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival at Underbelly in August 2024.
