Club Career |
|
Club(s) |
Began his
football career playing as a schoolboy centre-half in Southport, then
turning out for Trinity Old Boys FC. Southport FC, a Third Division North
club, beat Bolton Wanderers FC to his signature, with White being a
capable centre-half or a forward, on 15 September 1925. After
five goals in seventeen league outings, Everton FC beat other
interested clubs and picked him up for a 'substantial fee' on 17 February
1927, and he made his league debut, deputising for Bill Dean (who was away
with England), on 22 October that year. By the time the year was out,
Sheffield United FC had made overtures to sign him. White remained at
Goodison Park, making 193 league appearances, amassing 66 goals.
He had reverted to being a half-back from 1932, and by now, a very
versatile player wherever he was picked. However, a knee injury picked up
in a pre-season practice match in August 1936 forced his retirement from
Everton FC. Crewe Alexandra FC made an attempt to sign White on 31 July
1937. Then, Warney Cresswell, manager of Northampton Town FC, a former
teammate of White, gave him a months' trial on 6 October 1937, but
ultimately proved unsuccessful. White returned north with New Brighton FC
on 23 February 1938, retiring at the end of the following season. |
