Len White

Leonard Roy White (23 March 1930 – 17 June 1994) was an English professional footballer who played as a centre forward.

Born in Skellow, West Riding of Yorkshire, a small village near Doncaster, White started his career at Upton Colliery, before moving to Rotherham United[1] and progressing through the Millers' youth and reserve teams.

Those FA representative games brought him to the attention of the First Division clubs and he joined Newcastle United in 1953 for £12,500 – a relatively high amount at the time.

Once Milburn ended his career in the late 1950s, White took over as the leading striker, and continued to improve his ratio of goals.

White eventually left the club for Huddersfield Town in 1962, and finished his career with Stockport County in 1966.
