Vital 1st Team Regular
I moved to Australia from Scotland in 1981 at 15 years of age. I had many aunts, uncles & cousins on both sides, however lost contact for decades.
A few months ago, I learned from my cousin in Scotland, that my uncle, his dad, played football and golf with John White. John was signed by Bill Nicholson in 1959 and was part of the Spurs 60'61' team, winning the both the League and the FA Cup. John played with Spurs until 1964.
His nick name, The Ghost was coined by the Spurs faithful, due to his uncanny ability to appear in the oppositions' box, undetected.
He was killed by a lightening strike at the age of 27 on the golf course.
A little bit of trivia I should've known and thought I'd share.
