Manchester United has lost one of its original ‘Busby Babes’ as former player Jeff White passed away at the age of 90. White, a wing-half, joined the Red Devils straight from school in the summer of 1949. He was described by the club as one of the most “perceptive and precise passers of a football in England” during the mid-1950s.
During his eight seasons at Old Trafford under Sir Matt Busby, Whitefoot made 95 appearances and was part of the title-winning sides of 1952 and 1956. After leaving United, he moved to Grimsby Town before soon returning to the top flight less than a year later with Nottingham Forest in 1958. During his time at Forest, he made 285 appearances and was part of their 1959 FA Cup-winning team.
The club paid tribute to White saying they were “deeply saddened” by his death. They added: “May he rest in peace, with a special place in club folklore long since assured.”
