Devon White

In 2011, he was the victim of an impostor who posted comments on Facebook containing racist remarks, as well as references to drug use and serious sexual offences while claiming to be White. White reported the matter to the police and to Facebook.

At the culmination of his professional career, White returned to his initial trade as an electrician and now runs his own company in Nottingham. In December 2006, he returned to non-league football circuit as temporary first-team coach at Gedling Town, a role he occupied until the completion of the 2006–07 season.

White began his career in the non-league ranks whilst training as an electrician. In 1984 his talents were spotted by Lincoln City and he moved into the professional game. He spent two seasons with Lincoln, from where he was loaned to Maltese club Naxxar Lions, before dropping back into the non-league ranks with first Boston United and then Shepshed Charterhouse. At the beginning of the 1987–1988 season he appeared in a Lincolnshire Senior Cup tie for Grantham before surprisingly rejoining the pro ranks at Bristol Rovers. He also had a short stint at non league Oxhey jets, scoring one goal in five matches.
