Len White
| Date of birth | 23 March 1930 |
| Place of birth | Skellow |
| Nationality | English |
| Position | Centre forward |
Although he enjoyed FA Cup Final success in 1955, it wasn't until Jackie Milburn moved on in 1957 that Len had the chance to regularly play in his preferred centre-forward role. It was a hard act to follow but he responded with at least 25 goals in each of the next four seasons.
