† Appearances (Goals).David Whyte (born 20 April 1971) is an English former footballer born in Greenwich who played in the Football League as a striker for Crystal Palace, Charlton Athletic, Ipswich Town, Bristol Rovers and Southend United.[1][2]
He signed his first professional contract with Crystal Palace in 1989 and moved to Charlton Athletic on a permanent basis in 1994.[3] He was the club's top scorer in the 1994–95 season with 19 goals. During that season it was widely reported that Premier League side Coventry City offered £1.5 million for Whyte's services, which the Charlton Athletic board rejected despite the club being deeply in debt.[citation needed]
Whyte retired in 1999 after short spells at several clubs, finishing up with Southend United.[2]
