Career
White first rode for Leicester[5] but started his league career with the Peterborough Panthers in the National League. White showed promise whilst at the Crewe Kings and his form prompted the Leicester Lions to call on his services in the British League. He was then signed on a full contract by the Hackney Hawks to ride full-time in the top flight in 1976.[6][7]
After four seasons with Hackney, in the last of which he won the London Riders' Championship,[8] he moved on to the Coventry Bees as well as riding for the Milton Keynes Knights in the National League. He retired in 1990 after a poor start to the season (due to injuries) with the Long Eaton Invaders.[9]
