Our Thursday programme series last week went back 56 years, to the first ever floodlight match at Tottenham Hotspur’s White Hart lane.  Today, we hop across North London to Highbury, and Arsenal’s first major floodlit fixture against Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Our new Thursday series looks at classic football programmes, that perfect accompaniment for a trip down memory lane. This week: we go back 56 years, to the first ever floodlight match at Tottenham Hotspur’s White Hart lane, with the programme’s cover promising Spurs were in for “very attractive visitors” and “very sporting opponents” with the visit of Racing Club de Paris.
