Vincent White (footballer)


Vincent Harold White was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham and Watford.
White was born in Walsall, Staffordshire. He played local football before the First World War, represented his 24th London Regiment battalion team during it, and afterwards joined Wednesbury Old Athletic. A defensive wing half whose strength was his tackling, White signed for Birmingham in 1921. He made his debut in the First Division on 8 April 1922, deputising for Percy Barton in a 2–1 defeat away at Tottenham Hotspur, and played in the next game, but lost his place once Barton was available for selection again. He spent time at non-league clubs Ellesmere Port and Redditch Town before joining Watford, for whom he played seven Third Division South matches in the first of two seasons with the club. White died in Southampton in 1972 at the age of 74.
