Sinossi
Quando la leggenda degli Spurs John White fu uccisa da un fulmine nel 1964, il mondo del calcio fu scosso dalla tragedia. Aveva solo 27 anni. Soprannominato "Ghost" per il modo in cui poteva fluttuare nello spazio senza essere scoperto, White ebbe un ruolo di ispirazione nella grande squadra del Tottenham Hotspur, vincitrice di due volte, nei primi anni '60. Ogni tifoso ha una storia su di lui. Quando White morì, suo figlio Rob aveva solo sei mesi e quindi non conobbe mai suo padre. L'uomo che era venerato da centinaia di migliaia di tifosi di calcio in tutto il paese era uno sconosciuto per lui. Oltre alle riprese sgranate della finale di Coppa e agli articoli di giornale ingialliti, c'erano così tante cose che Rob non sapeva, domande che non aveva mai avuto l'opportunità di porre. Per trovare risposte, si mise a parlare con gli ex compagni di squadra di White, la sua famiglia e i suoi sostenitori, e costruì un toccante ritratto di un giovane calciatore dotato e di un'epoca perduta. "Se John fosse vissuto, sarebbe potuto diventare uno dei più grandi calciatori di tutti i tempi" - Jimmy Greaves Con una nuova postfazione per l'edizione tascabile.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. When Spurs legend John White was killed by a bolt of lightning in 1964, the football world was rocked by the tragedy. He was just 27 years of age. Nicknamed the 'Ghost' for the way that he could drift into space undetected, White played an inspirational role in the great double-winning Tottenham Hotspur side of the early 1960s. Every fan has a story about him. When White died, his son, Rob, was only six months old and so never knew his father. The man who was revered by hundreds of thousands of football fans across the country was a stranger to him. Beyond the grainy Cup Final footage and yellowed newspaper articles, there was so much Rob didn't know, questions he had never had an opportunity to ask. To find answers he set out to speak to White's former teammates, his family and followers, and built up a touching portrait of a gifted young footballer and of a lost era. 'Had John lived, he could have been one of the greatest footballers of all time' - Jimmy Greaves With a new afterword for the paperback. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR004099931
