The Ghost of White Hart Lane is a one-man play spanning the life of 1960s footballer John White and his son Rob's journey to discover the man he never met. Written by Murphy, the play takes personal and career highlights out of chronological order, exploring John's upbringing in Musselburgh near Edinburgh, his football fame at White Hart Lane, and his tragic death by lightning strike at age 27 in 1964. Cal Newman performs all 31 characters in the show, with voice over cameos from Allison O'Donnell, star of the BBC's Shetland, and actor Paul Whitehouse. Newman's performance won a Theatre Weekly Award for Best Monologue at Fringe 2024.
