[edit] Club career

White's career started at the age of eighteen with Arsenal. In the 1996/97 season White broke into the first team as part of Arsenal's central defence, winning her first trophy that year, the FA Women's Premier League.

The 1997/98 season was a break-out year for White, winning not only the FA Women's Cup and Premier League Cup, but also being named the National Premier League Player of the Year. White's medal tally grew as Arsenal's winning ways continued, winning the FA Women's cup once more, and the League cup twice more.

However, they failed to win the Premier League title again until the 2000/01 season when the team completed its second treble, winning all three major domestic titles (Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup).

In 2002, White was named the Arsenal captain and led Arsenal to a Premier League and FA cup double in both 2003/04 and 2005/06.

White is expected to miss most of the 2006/07 season after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligaments in a pre season friendly match vs Bristol City on July 16, 2006. She was made an MBE for services to sport in the 2007 New Years Honours List.

[edit] International career

In 1998, White made her first full England début against France, and was named player of the match.

In 2002, she made her first appearance as England captain against Nigeria.

She also had the honour of captaining England in Euro 2005, which was held in England.
