William Henry "Billy" White (born October 13, 1936 in Liverpool , † December 7, 2000 in Ormskirk ) was an English football player . Inside forward he was at Burnley FC to the extended circle of the 1960 championship team of Burnley FC, but was mostly in the shadow of players like Jimmy McIlroy and Jimmy Robson .
Athletic career
White's footballing career was mostly in the "waiting state" in the professional field. After he had hired in January 1954 from Clubmoor BC at first division club Burnley FC, it took almost four years until his first appearance in the first team on December 28, 1957 against West Bromwich Albion . By his departure in March 1961, he completed a total of nine league games and showed himself as a half-striker - mostly as a substitute for Jimmy McIlroy or Jimmy Robson - with four goals quite dangerous. During the championship season 1959/60 he contributed two hits in six games, which in turn was too little for the official receipt of a title medal.
Next goal for him was the Welsh club AFC Wrexham , which played in the fourth English division and was coached by Burnley's ex-player Billy Morris . In the same year he moved on to Chester FC , where he let his professional career come to an end, just like afterwards at Halifax Town (in Halifax he did not play a game for the first team). He died at the age of 64 in Ormskirk, about 20 kilometers north of his birthplace, Liverpool.
