Stats
Bio
A wartime recruit from local club Surrey Hills, Jim White was a solidly built utility who made a brief cameo for Hawthorn during the tumultuous 1942 VFL season. Standing 183cm and weighing 86kg, he possessed the physical frame to compete in key contests, wearing the number 7 guernsey for the opening two rounds against North Melbourne and St Kilda. His senior career was limited to just those two appearances, a common narrative for young footballers of the era whose sporting pursuits were often curtailed by military service and workforce demands during the Second World War. Though his time at Glenferrie Oval was fleeting, White remains part of the cohort of players who helped field a side during the club's challenging wartime period.
