Career
[edit]White began his professional career with Dundee United alongside his identical twin brother Joe, with the siblings playing together for the first time on 18 December 1971 in a 3–0 defeat away to Aberdeen (they were the first pair of twins to play for the club).[3][4][5]
White spent three years at Tannadice[6][2] before moving to Forfar Athletic in 1975, where he went on to make over sixty league appearances.[7][8] In 1978, White left the senior game and returned to Glenrothes, rejoining his brother who had returned to the Fife Junior club four years earlier.
