Stats
Bio
A local recruit from nearby Brunswick Juniors, Allan White was a dangerous forward who possessed a sharp eye for goal during his time at Brunswick Street. He made an immediate impact upon breaking into the senior side in 1936, booting 18 goals in just 12 games to establish himself as a genuine scoring threat for the Maroons. While he maintained a better-than-a-goal-a-game average throughout his tenure, his career momentum was stifled by the onset of the Second World War, which saw him miss three consecutive prime seasons between 1940 and 1942. White returned for one final appearance in 1943, concluding a brief but efficient career that was ultimately defined by the interruptions typical of his generation.
