Bill Nicholson's career at Tottenham Hotspur was one of the most enduring in the history of British football. He was unique among his contemporaries in that he spent the whole of his professional career at one club. During his 39 years at Spurs, he won a League Championship medal as a player, but far surpassed that achievement when he was appointed manager of the club in 1958. Under his charge, Spurs became the first winners of the League and F.A. Cup ‘Double' in the 20th Century, and the first British side to win a major European trophy in the European Cup Winners' Cup final. Ten years later, Bill’s Spurs became the first British side to win two major European trophies, with their success in the very first UEFA Cup final. Added to these wonderful achievements, where Bill's three F.A. Cup wins - a then post-war record - and two League Cup honours, a lasting testament of the career of a remarkable footballing talent. It’s no wonder those times became affectionately known as the ‘Glory, Glory Years.’ This e-book celebrates the life and times of Bill, and gives a comprehensive account of those ‘Glory Years’ at Spurs. A section advertising available memorabilia is also included.

Bill Nicholson was revered as one of the most honest football managers in the business. Between 1960 and 1964 he turned Tottenham Hotspur into the finest team in Britain. This book, the first biography of Nicholson, commemorates the 50th anniversary of Tottenham's pioneering 1961 Double, which Nicholson followed up in 1963 by becoming the first manager to win a European trophy. By moulding great players like Dave Mackay, Danny Blanchflower, John White, Cliff Jones and Jimmy Greaves into an almost perfectly balanced team, he set new standards of attacking play. Nicholson was born in Scarborough in 1919. At the age of 17 he took the night train alone to London, signed for Spurs on GBP2 a week and spent the rest of his life with the club as player, coach, manager, scout and President. He never had a contract, spurned bonuses and lived ten minutes' walk from the ground with his remarkable wife, who was known as Darkie, until his death in 2004. He is still revered by Tottenham fans as one of the most important figures in the club's history. This well-researched book offers a new, kinder impression of this much-loved man.

From the publishers of My Father and other Working Class Heroes comes the incredible biography of sixties Tottenham Hotspur legend, John White, who died aged 27.
When Bill Nicholson died aged 85 in 2004, many in the world of football paid moving tributes to a manager who ranked alongside footballing gods such as Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly, Jock Stein and Sir Alf Ramsey. Bill Nicholson had a highly successful playing career at Tottenham Hotspur as a hard-tackling and reliable wing-half in the Arthur Rowe-managed Tottenham side that won the Second and First Division championships in successive seasons. He was also capped by England, if only once. But it was as a manager that Nicholson made his biggest impact. In 1961, his Tottenham team became the first side to win the Double of League Championship and FA Cup since Aston Villa achieved the feat in 1897. Two years later, Nicholson became the first manager to lead a British team to a European trophy, when Spurs beat Atletico Madrid 5-1 and won the European Cup-Winners' Cup in Rotterdam. In Double Bill, two men with close ties to Tottenham Hotspur have collaborated to reveal the man behind the legend. Alan Mullery joined Tottenham in 1964 as a player and went on to captain the side under Nicholson. Paul Trevillion, the world-famous sports illustrator and writer, worked on Spurs' Lilywhite magazine and the Tottenham Weekly Herald, during which time he followed both Nicholson's playing career and his days as a record-breaking manager. Together, they have uncovered the real Bill Nicholson. Their anecdotes and memories could only come from true insiders, and they have also interviewed many other footballing greats for their insights. Double Bill is an honest and engrossing account of the unsurpassed trophy-winning career of a Tottenham hero.
