Ever since Fever Pitch there have been a handful of accomplished
personal accounts of an individual's love-affair with their football
club. They have all followed in the footsteps of Nick Hornby's
classic, seen through a one dimensional fan's perspective. This
account is different. Very different. Excitingly different. Here,
Harry Harris, arguably the nation's Number 1 football story getter for
a generation, gives a fan's view of life as a Spurs supporter for 50
years, but with a unique insight into players, managers and
personalities behind the scenes gleaned through his unique inside
track on events within a football club with his unrivalled access.
Harry has been so influential within White Hart Lane that he has
advised and influenced many a Spurs chairman, including Sir Alan Sugar
and Irving Scholar. Harry also reveals the remarkable and sensational
behind the scenes secrets of takeovers and player transfers. This book
is a must for all Spurs fans who have followed the club since the
Glory, Glory days of the 1960s, and for those who want to know what
really made Bill Nicholson tick, but also for any football fan
interested in the truth about the power struggles being mirrored today
at clubs like Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and
Portsmouth. Harry has rubbed shoulders with Pele, Maradona, Johan
Cruyff and George Best, but also includes Glenn Hoddle, Ossie Ardiles,
Gary Mabbutt, Paul Gascoigne, Gary Lineker and Steve Perryman, among
his all-time favourite footballers and personal friends with
interesting accounts of their feats on the field and what they are
really like off it. Down Memory Lane is a riveting account of one
man's on and off love affair and its nostalgic approach is matched
with behind the scenes knowledge of players, directors and owners.
With exclusive interviews with former managers Gerry Francis, Glenn
Hoddle, Ossie Ardiles, Paul Miller and many more including the new
manager Harry Redknapp, Down Memory Lane is sure to become another
bestseller from Harry Harris!
