A few of you would remember Stuart White from back in the day at Welling.

It appears that Stuart has been killed in a road accident in South Africa ...

I remember one goal scored at Enfield when he ran the full length of the pitch, then back again to celebrate ...

    Big shame that. He was like Welling's version of Amos.

    RIP.
  • That name brings back some memories. Nice lad. RIP mate.

    Very sad news.

    I used to work with a good friend (also deceased now sadly) of Stuart's mother and she (knowing I was a Charlton fan) used to update me on Stuart's progress when he was a youngster at Charlton. Keith Peacock apparently rated him but others didn't so he was eventually released. I can't remember for sure at this distance in time but he may have had a spell at Gillingham (when KP was manager) before joining up with Welling.
  • I remember him, he was a part of the glory days of Robbins, Booker, Abbott, Ransom, Hone, Handford, Reynolds etc.
    Sad really that i could name virtually the entire Welling XI from those days!
    RIP.

    There's some big names there. At the time I thought that Nigel Ransom (with his Magnum PI moustache) could head the ball harder than anyone else in the world.

    Very sad news about Stuart White.

    R I P Stuart.
  • It's very sad indeed.

    It was during his era I remember Welling beating Dagenham (when they were just Dagenham) 6-1, wonder what happened to them.............

    Ransom did have a neck like a giraffe though, it was the whip that made the difference.

    Sad news indeed about Stuart. He, along with most of that team I guess, seemed to really enjoy those times.

    lol, Dagenham. Yeovil too, Wycombe were down with them at some point I think. Barnet to an extent I guess. Burton too...saw them playing at Dartford when the streaker came on. Good times.

    Any recall the 6-5 game vs Met Police in the Kent Senior Cup (or whatever it was called). Never seen a game like it.

    How many press ups did that one warrant?
