New book re Spurs!

yiddo

Got an email today from Adam Powley who's been a season ticket holder for years and has been involved in writing several books on Spurs including "We are Tottenham", "The boys from White Hart Lane", "Spurs Miscellany" etc. He's released a new book called "When football was football - Tottenham Hotspur" Based on his past books it should be a great read!

Here's the full detail;

It's that time of the year again when I've got another Tottenham book to pester you with. It's called When Football Was Football: Tottenham Hotspur and is now in the shops and ready to order online. Drawing on colour and b&w pictures from the huge Mirrorpix archive, and with a foreword by Steve Perryman, it's a photographic nostalgia-fest that, like it says in the title, harks back to an era before the Premier League and to football's golden age.

Shots include Jimmy Greaves playing football in the House of Commons, WHL being used as a World War One military supplies factory, Alfie Conn playing barefoot, Eddie Baily advertising fags, Glenn 'Bite yer legs' Hoddle taking out Terry Butcher, and Jimmy Dimmock in his dotage, plus special features on the Double, European Glory nights, a frame-by-frame shot of Ricky Villa's masterpiece, together with 'legends' profiles, famous victories and peeks behind-the- WHL scenes from 1904 to 1994.

I'd be most grateful if you could spread the word to any Tottenham-supporting friends and colleagues.
