White Hart Lane: The Spurs Glory Years 1899-2017

by Martin Lipton

A complete history of White Hart Lane, the home of Tottenham Hotspur from 1899 to 2017 and the setting for some of their greatest successes. For a football supporter, a real fan, there is nothing more evocative than the journey to their home ground, a place where they have experienced the highs and lows that the game brings - delight, despair, hope, pain and, occasionally, pure joy. But while those stadiums seem permanent, they are not. In May 2017, White Hart Lane, the backdrop to more than a century of Spurs history, staged its final game. With the active support and endorsement of the club, who have granted him exclusive access to senior figures and historical documents, Martin Lipton pays fitting tribute to the glory days at the Lane.

[Simon Farrow · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nicely written, nostalgic look back at the home of the mighty Spurs, and I have to admit, as a lifelong Tottenham fan, there were a few parts of the book that did bring a few tears to my eyes - though not as many as it hurt to support Spurs throughout the time we were owned by Alan Sugar.

Some great anecdotes and memories. Such a shame that there are so many sub-claused, run-on sentences requiring multiple readings to figure out what is actually being said. And that's when there isn't a word just plain missing . . .

This book is really difficult to follow in places but a lot of work clearly went in to speaking to those who's memories lie within the pages - read for PhD research
