This insightful and often hilarious romp charts the dramatic ups and downs of Tottenham Hotspur, as seen through the eyes of one of its most unlikely heroes: Roy Reyland, the local kit man who served the club for almost 30 years. From inside the dressing room and on the bench, Roy has witnessed the agony and the ecstasy of three decades of seasons at Tottenham Hotspur. He looked after Spurs' famous lilywhite shirts for an incredible 1,397 matches, home and away, including 12 dramatic cup finals. Working under 17 managers--from Keith Burkinshaw to Martin Jol--he visited Wembley more times than many of the brightest stars of the Premiership. And, of course, he worked closely with some of White Hart Lane's greatest ever players--from Ardiles and Gazza to Klinsmann and Ginola. As the club's unofficial agony aunt, Roy has seen the tears and the triumphs, the dressing-room pranks, and has a unique insight into the inner workings of the legendary Premiership side. He has seen it all, and his story is one of total devotion to the club.

Bill Nicholson's career at Tottenham Hotspur was one of the most enduring in the history of British football. He was unique among his contemporaries in that he spent the whole of his professional career at one club. During his 39 years at Spurs, he won a League Championship medal as a player, but far surpassed that achievement when he was appointed manager of the club in 1958. Under his charge, Spurs became the first winners of the League and F.A. Cup ‘Double' in the 20th Century, and the first British side to win a major European trophy in the European Cup Winners' Cup final. Ten years later, Bill’s Spurs became the first British side to win two major European trophies, with their success in the very first UEFA Cup final. Added to these wonderful achievements, where Bill's three F.A. Cup wins - a then post-war record - and two League Cup honours, a lasting testament of the career of a remarkable footballing talent. It’s no wonder those times became affectionately known as the ‘Glory, Glory Years.’ This e-book celebrates the life and times of Bill, and gives a comprehensive account of those ‘Glory Years’ at Spurs. A section advertising available memorabilia is also included.

Football families are not such a rare commodity in the beautiful game. Back in the 50s, the Compton brothers made their mark at Arsenal whilst Newcastle United went more cosmopolitan by including two Chileans, the Robledo brothers in their F.A. Cup winning teams, also in the 50s. In the 60s, the Charlton brothers came to the world’s attention, particularly when they played successfully together for England in the 1966 World Cup final at Wembley. They also became players in their own right at their respective clubs. However, for football families, none are more lasting or enduring in the game than the footballing Allen’s. Since Les Allen starred for Spurs in their Double-winning team in 1961, others have followed in his footsteps: siblings or uncles, nephews or cousins. Two famous Allens followed in Les’s footsteps in marking their mark at Spurs in the 80s, Clive and Paul. They even lined up together in the 1987 F.A. Cup final. This is a short celebration of the life and times of that famous Allen Trinity, who made their own particular mark on one of the world's greatest football clubs. So, sit back and enjoy the journey and relive some of those great occasions in Spurs history when the Allen family truly earned their Spurs at White Hart Lane.
