Playing career

White joined Burnley from the Liverpool based Clubmoor Boys' Club in 1954,[1] going on to score four times in his nine league outings for the Clarets. His spell included six appearances during 1959–60, when Burnley were champions of the Football League First Division.[1]

In March 1961 he moved to Wrexham, but four months later he switched to local rivals Chester. The following year he joined Halifax Town but he did not make any more appearances in The Football League.

After the end of his football career, White ran a newsagent shop in Liverpool with his wife Winifred.[2] He died in Ormskirk District General Hospital in December 2000 after contracting MRSA.[2] Burnley flew their flag at half-mast as a mark of respect following his death.[2]

gollark: Unless they're really cool robot overlords.
gollark: No.
gollark: Historically technological advances have at least eventually replaced lost jobs (not that I think jobs created/lost is a good way to judge innovations) but I suppose you could argue that AI is different somehow. It definitely would be if AI stuff started being able to make more AI stuff, but you would probably run into bigger issues than high unemployment then.
gollark: It also seems unlikely that we would suddenly jump from the current situation where a bit of stuff is automated and quite a lot isn't to everyone being immediately unemployed, so you can notice and do stuff about it in the interval. Restructure the economy for post-material-scarcity or whatever. No idea how that would *work* but oh well.
gollark: If you can make robots/AI/whatever do any work you want easily, I'm sure you could make a few to produce food and whatever without problems.
