Spurs and Scotland star John White was one of the best footballers of the 1960s. However, in July 1964, aged 27, he was struck by lightning and killed. From humble beginnings growing up outside Edinburgh, through to football fame and his tragic death, this play shares John's cheeky humour. It also follows the story of his son Rob White, just five months old when his dad died. Loved by audiences and critics, this unique tale of nostalgia shines a deeply personal perspective on grief, life growing up without a father and male mental health.
