Boys from White Hart Lane: 0 - Tapa dura

This book comes with Steve Perryman, Ossie Ardiles, Ricky Villa, Graham Roberts, Paul Miller, Garry Brooke, Chris Hughton, Tony Galvin and more. Before the Premier League, Grand Slam Sundays, executive boxes and multi-millionaire reserves, Tottenham had "The Boys From White Hart Lane" - a tight-knit group of London lads laced with Latin creativity, Yorkshire grit and Scottish genius. Under manager Keith Burkinshaw the Spurs team of the late 1970s and 1980s fought their way back from relegation, one of the club's lowest points, to two FA Cup triumphs and European glory, in so doing cementing their place in Tottenham legend.This is the story of that team in the players' own words - from the Wembley wins to marathon drinking sessions in Swaziland; from swapping stories with the fans over a post-match pint to swapping punches with team-mates on the training pitch. Based on exclusive interviews with Steve Perryman, Osvaldo Ardiles, Ricky Villa, Graham Roberts, Paul Miller, Tony Galvin, Chris Hughton and others, this is an intimate and revealing portrait of football before the hype, and of the team which put the glory back into Spurs. "A cracking read. This is the real story of the greatest team I played in - and had the honour of captaining - and it's full of stories even I didn't know." - Steve Perryman.
