White has covered all the world's major sporting events for the Daily Telegraph and is a long-serving contributor to BBC Radio 4 and Five Live including appearances as a guest pundit on "Fighting Talk". He has also appeared on the BBC and Sky, for which he has recently written and presented documentaries on Jose Mourinho and Sven-Göran Eriksson and previously presented a sports current affairs show, "The Back Page", on STV.

He took over in September 2006 from Jim Delahunt as the anchor of STV's "Champions League Live", hosting the programme for only one season.

There was a rumour that White learnt to speak fluent Cantonese while working as an investment banker in Hong Kong, however he denied this while on "Fighting Talk".

He is an ardent Manchester United supporter and writes a regular column for fanzine 'United We Stand'.
