Stunning officially endorsed coffee table book commemorating the
50th anniversary of Tottenham Hotspur's famous League and Cup
Double in 1961 - the first 'Double' achieved in the modern era of
football. Beautifully presented within its' own real-cloth slipcase
adorned in silver with the book's title and the iconic badge worn
by the team during this historic season, this lavish collector's
item showcases previously unseen behind-the-scenes photographs and
memorabilia and tells the story of the season through original
newspaper cuttings, tickets and match programmes. Put together by
the editorial team who put together the Spurs Opus, with the full
co-operation of the surviving players and Tottenham Hotspur FC (and
with full access to the historical archives at White Hart Lane),
this sensational publication will be the focal point of the club's
1960/61 celebrations which will begin at the start of the 2010
season.
They were the last great Spurs team. A tight-knit group of London
lads laced with Latin creativity, Yorkshire grit and Scottish
genius, playing for a few hundred quid a week and the glory of
putting on the Tottenham shirt. They won two FA Cups and a UEFA Cup
together, they went drinking together and they appeared on Top of
the Pops together. They were The Boys From White Hart Lane.
Renowned Tottenham authors Martin Cloake and Adam Powley have
tracked down their childhood heroes to produce a book of
wonderfully vivid and candid interviews with ten members of the
team including Steve Perryman, Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa. It is
a book that not only opens the doors of the White Hart Lane
dressing room during this iconic period for the club, but takes the
reader back in time to a football world before Premier League,
multi-billionaire foreign owners and millionaire reserve players
sitting on the bench in yellow boots and headbands. Packed with
insight, revelations and wonderful stories - including the training
ground prank which saw a player break his toe on a breeze block,
the all-night drinking session in Swaziland and the story of how
Ossie dented the FA Cup - The Boys From White Hart Lane is an
intimate and eye-opening portrait of the men who put the glory back
into Spurs.
