Enfield Town 0 Spurs 7 (Pre-season Friendly)

This game is of note among an increasing number of pre-season friendlies because Spurs fielded two members of the Argentinean World Cup winning team.

Ossie Ardiles was joined by Mario Kempes who was on a two game trial. He had been playing in Spain but failed to score in either game and was not offered a contract.

The goals in this game were scored by Garth Crooks(4), Gary Stevens, Garry Brooke and Mike Hazard.

John White

21st July, 1964

A Sad Loss.

Spurs' Legend - John White

Tottenham Hotspur lost a great player with the tragic death of John White who was killed when struck by lightning while sheltering under a tree on Crews Hill Golf Course at Enfield.

John White had been an important member of the successful ‘Double’ team in the early 1960s.  He had been signed from Falkirk in October, 1959 and was a firm favourite, still having much to offer the club.

A Scottish international he brought great skill and vision to the team and was a sad loss to Spurs, Scotland and football but more importantly to all his family.
