Martin Murphy answers our questions ahead of The Ghost of White Hart Lane returning to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

The Ghost of White Hart Lane returns to the Fringe after sell-out runs at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and London seasons in 2025 and 2026. This one-man play is about Scotsman John White - one of the finest footballers of the 1960s, struck by lightning and killed at 27 - and his son Rob's journey to find the father he never met, weaving personal history, football legend and the universal experience of grief into something that reaches far beyond the sport. We chat to writer, Martin Murphy about telling well known stories, handling legend and identity, and finding what resonates though the years.
