David Pleat in conversation with David Dein

Description

Join David Pleat as he launches his new memoir, Just One More Goal, in conversation with his North London rival, David Dein, and interviewed by sports journalist by Graham Miller.

David Pleat has lived a life at the heart of football, from his debut as an England Schoolboy international in 1960 to his time as a scout for Tottenham Hotspur up to 2024.

In 1986, Pleat was given his shot at the big-time at Tottenham Hotspur. Were it not for a fabricated tabloid scandal, his sole season as manager - which featured a third-placed finish, an FA Cup final and a League Cup semi-final - might have been the start of a transformation at White Hart Lane.

Just One More Goal is not just an account of one man’s lifelong obsession with football. It is the story of an evolving game, one that moved away from instinct and spontaneity towards something colder and more technical. David Pleat’s memoir is the perfect answer to the question of how modern football became what it is today.

There will be a book signing following the main event, with copies of the book available to purchase.
