Support a Special Book Honouring Cam Whyte
Dear OzSpurs Community,
We’d like to share something truly special with you.
When the Final Whistle Blows: Glory, Grief and Tottenham Hotspur
“This is a touching story about one Tottenham Hotspur fan experiencing the 2024/25 season from Australia. But it’s also a deeply meaningful book that shows how sport connects us, and the memories it leaves behind.”
— Jack Pitt-Brooke, Tottenham Hotspur Correspondent, The Athletic
OzSpurs committee member Andrew Pettifer, a long-standing supporter and part of our community, has written his first book. It’s more than a season review — it’s a personal, emotional story about following Spurs (and Ange) from Australia through the highs and lows, and something far deeper.
The book is dedicated to Cameron ‘Commander’ Whyte, a Sydney OzSpurs legend and dear friend to many of us, who passed away through voluntary assisted dying after a long and brave battle with cancer — just days after Spurs finally lifted a trophy.
Cam gave Andrew permission to share his story before he left us, and the result is a moving tribute to friendship, loyalty, community, and the love we all share for this club.
💙 All proceeds from the book will go to Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, supporting cancer research in Cam’s memory.
