Gordon Lindsay Whyte BEM (13 August 1915 – 24 June 2007) was a New Zealand cricketer, radio announcer and senior aviation official.
During World War II, Whyte served with a construction unit in Fiji before joining the Royal New Zealand Air Force as an administrative clerk.
[7] He was awarded the British Empire Medal (Military Division) in the 1946 King's Birthday Honours.
[2] In 1949 he began broadcasting cricket and soccer matches at the Basin Reserve in Wellington for radio station 2YA, and kept going until his wife pointed out to him in 1972 that his voice was getting a little raspy.
[2][9] His plan was rejected at the time, and soccer continued to be played in regional competitions, but when a national league was eventually established it resembled the one he had proposed.
