Synopsis

 

Just over twenty years ago I went to my first Tottenham Hotspur football match at White Hart Lane. From that moment I was hooked. From the Lane is the story of one fan in the following of their club over two decades, interspersed with episodes of a personal life that all impact back on what it is like to be a football fan.

 

The book charts my experiences of being a Tottenham supporter. It touches on the factual aspects of the games I have been to, but is centred mainly on the emotional journey that this obsession undoubtedly provides. It also discusses opinions on various issues surrounding the sport and the club. It is written based on personal experiences, all against a real-life background that covers the vast majority of my lifetime as a supporter.

 

From that first Chris Waddle and Glenn Hoddle-inspired moment, through the years of such great players as Paul Gascoigne, Gary Lineker, Jurgen Klinsmann and David Ginola, right up to the current era, this story reveals how being a supporter of a football club is able to affect a human being, able to provide both sadness and joy.

 

From the Lane is a story that dedicated football fans everywhere will be able to relate to. It should appeal to any football supporter, but of course will be appreciated and enjoyed most by Tottenham fans.
