Our legendary former manager and player sadly died on October 23, 2004. His ashes – plus those of his beloved wife Darkie – were buried under the White Hart Lane pitch that meant so much to him and then – with the family’s blessing – respectfully transferred into safe keeping on a vantage point overlooking the site as the demolition of the old stadium approached.
Now Bill and Darkie’s caskets have been re-interred at a specially-selected location below where the new pitch will overlap the old. This was preceded by a private ceremony attended by the couple’s immediate family.
