Glory, Glory Lane is the life-affirming history - including a momentous last season - of a world-famous football stadium, home to Tottenham Hotspur for 118 years. A Victorian structure turned wraparound 21st-century all-seater, it became a theatre of dreams for supporters all attracted by teams which played the 'Spurs way' to achieve glory. The Lane gave a stage to a conveyor belt of legends from Cameron to Alli via Nicholson, Blanchflower, Greaves, Hoddle and Klinsmann. It provided unforgettable memories in unforgettable atmospheres - heart-lifting, heart-breaking, nerve-racking. Its story veers from founders obsessed by Harry Hotspur to Harry Kane via Harry Redknapp; through matches, personalities, ground developments and threatened closure, all with first-hand accounts. It's hard to imagine how a new GBP750m stadium can ever replace the edifice which shut its gates for the last time after Spurs played Manchester United in May 2017, having created a daunting legacy.

Mike Donovan is an award-winning sports journalist who has authored Tottenham Hotspur-related books including Spurs' Greatest Games, Spurs' Unsung Hero (Terry Dyson) and Takenote! (Darren Anderton). A Spurs supporter since 1961, Mike's family have a White Hart Lane history going back eight decades. A writer for over 40 years, he's been a boxing and tennis correspondent and a sports editor. Contributes to newspapers, magazines and websites.
