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 just 27 years old. From humble beginnings outside Edinburgh to football fame and his tragic death, the play captures John’s cheeky humour and follows the journey of his son, Rob White, who was only five months old when his father died.

The Ghost of White Hart Lane premiered at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in July 2024 – the first live play performed at the venue – before a sell-out month-long run at Underbelly, Edinburgh Fringe last summer.
