Peter Robinson – the man responsible for the iconic photo that gave the Bill Nicholson Gates their name – will be in attendance at an exhibition dedicated to his work at OOF Gallery this Saturday (12th July).
Arguably one of the greatest living football photographers, Peter will be in attendance alongside Spurs legends Ossie Ardiles and Martin Chivers – who are both subjects of his most notable work – from 1 – 3pm.
All will be signing special edition prints of Robinson’s photography, that are being sold by OOF and can be pre-ordered until Thursday 10th July, with a donation of proceeds being made to the Tottenham Tribute Trust – a first-of-its-kind charity dedicated to serving the needs of our former players who find themselves in a situation that compromises their quality of life.
This includes Peter’s legendary photo from the 1970s of the great Bill Nicholson holding open the famous gates that for generations stood proudly in front of White Hart Lane.
The Club last week announced it was reinstating the Bill Nicholson Gates within the stadium environs this summer following their removal from the area in 2015, ahead of the construction of our new stadium.
Working in close consultation with our Fan Advisory Board (FAB), we have identified a location - within PAXTON17, between the Ticket Office and historic buildings at the north of the stadium – at which the gates will be reinstated.
The iconic photograph takes pride of place within ‘Double Vision’, an exhibition which surveys Robinson’s 60-plus year career, documenting world football from the lower leagues to the very highest level. The exhibition splits his work into a series of themed sections, from the psychology of taking a penalty, to players feigning injury and hastily drawn shirt numbers.
It is OOF’s first major photography show since 2022 and is now open at Warmington House – accessible via the Spurs Shop at the Tottenham Experience – until 31 August.
We look forward to welcoming fans to the exhibition on Saturday – which is free to enter, with no ticket required – to meet with Peter, Ossie and Martin between 1-3pm.
OOF Gallery adds to the vibrancy the Club and its new stadium is bringing to London N17, with employment and educational opportunities, a new sport, leisure and entertainment destination and an estimated £344 million into the local economy every year.
