He made his league debut at Waverley Oval against Collingwood and had 12 disposals. He didn"t play a senior game in 1990 and made just one appearance for Carlton in 1991, against Adelaide. After leaving Carlton, White returned to the Heathcote District Football League and was playing coach in Mountain Pleasant"s 1993 and 1994 premiership teams.
Later in the year, White would go on a fishing trip from which he would never return, along with his father and a childhood friend, off the coast of Portuguese Campbell.
Although their bodies were never found, rescuers later recovered two life jackets, footwear, a fuel tank and a key ring belonging to Peter White. Every year since the accident, HDFL club"s Mount Pleasant and Heathcote have played each other for Cliff and Peter White Memorial Shield.
