The Ghost Of White Hart Lane

About The Ghost of White Hart Lane

The Ghost of White Hart Lane is a play about Spurs and Scotland star John White and his son, Rob White, at 6 Walker's Court, London. It follows John White’s rise from humble beginnings just outside Edinburgh to football fame, before his death in July 1964 at the age of 27 after being struck by lightning.

Written from a personal perspective, the play also looks at Rob White, who was just five months old when his father died. It explores grief, growing up without a father and male mental health, while also including John White’s cheeky humour.

Commissioned in 2024 to mark 60 years since John White’s death, the production premiered at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in July 2024, the first live play ever performed there. It later had a one-month run of sell-out shows at Underbelly Edinburgh Fringe in 2024 and Jackson's Lane, Highgate in 2025. The play follows the Sunday Times Bestseller The Ghost of White Hart Lane by Rob White and Julie Welch.

Running time: 70 minutes. Age guidance: 12+.
