## Playing Career

### Restoria

Whites was promoted to the Restoria first team after a brilliant display during the youth playoffs. David Whites made his debut on Christmas morning in 1991 in a 0-0 draw against city rivals Violetas. He assisted a goal scored by Thomas Jackson on the 4th of January of 1992, which resulted in a towering 4-0 win against Queenstown. It wasn't too long after he scored his first goal, as he scored a penalty goal on the 7th of January, which was the winning goal that would make them the best Oakland club (winning the Oaklands BBA Champions League). After the first-team-choice striker Alexander James was on injury and later international duty, 17-year-old Whites was selected to play the 20 matches James would miss out. He impressed his manager scoring 14 goals and assisting 5. After James' arrival, James retired from Blueball and went to manage a weak Blueball Bouncer team. In his second season (1992-1993), he scored 17 goals and assisted 5 in 20 matches. The talent wanted to renew his contract, but his wages were very high (700k per week) and decided to go on loan to Cole City. This was the last year he would play for Restoria.

### Cole City (loan)

After Whites moved to Cole City, he scored 31 goals and assisted 24. City finished 9th in the 1993-1994 Sogi A league. The 18-year-old had impressed very much, and was wanted by bigger clubs, such as Queenstown, Gloucestershire and even Cole A club Blessed Victors.

### Queenstown

Whites moved to Queenstown for £39.4 million. He made his appearance in a 1-3 win against a weak Samueltown, in which Whites scored 2 times. Then, a week later, he scored 4 goals in a game against a very strong Marcus Midlands, resulting in a 4-3 win. He also scored a header against Midlands a week later in the first aggregate of the Sogian Cup (3-0 win). He also scored in the second aggregate (6-0 win). In the 1995-96 season, he scored 41 goals and assisted 22. A prolific striker, he won the Mi' Award and the Best Striker Bronze award. He stayed at Queenstown until 2000, where he was suddenly put on the transfer market and was kicked out from the first team (after an argument with his manager).

### Bayer

Whites moved to Bayer for £65.2 million. Bayer had spent all their transfer money on him, and they expected him to score at least 50 goals. In his first season, he scored 49 goals and assisted 30. Bayer's standing went from 17 to 3 in just 3 months. After the 2000-01 season, they won the Top 4 Champions Cup, scoring in the 90th minute to win the semi-finals against his former club Restoria (1-0 win) and scored 2 goals in the final against Queenstown (4-3). He immediately became a captain and won Bayer the Sogi A in the 2002-03 season, scoring 50 goals and assisted 41. Bayer also continued to win the Top 4 Champions Cup. A legendary season, the 2003-04 season, made Bayer unstoppable. They had a 99% win rate, only losing 4-3 to Rutherford Rangers. However in the 2004-05 season, they were unbeaten. Whites said a final goodbye to Bayer on the 24th of July, 2005. He was going to play for another club. His speech:

*"Today I come with grave news, my fellow Bayer fans. I'm leaving the club after a great 4 years. The memories etched at the Park of Bayer will never leave my mind, and I thank you all for everything. May you not forget, I will come back when it's right. I love this club very much, it allowed me to express my feelings, but I need to find a new challenge. Thank you manager Frank Golden for teaching me tactics, my goalkeeper for saving when it was right, my defenders for blocking and tackling the ruthless attackers, my midfielders for being the heart of the game, and my fellow attackers, who taught me a lot. Since I am 30, I feel like going to a team with no surplus and that can match my calibre. That doesn't mean I think that this is a bad club, it means that I don't want them to suffer the effects of me aging. I love you all Bayer fans, I hope one day I can come back without thinking twice about my age."*

### Restoria United

Whites moved back to Restoria, this time north, signing with Restoria United for £65.8 million. United were #6 in the Sogi A last season and Whites managed to make them #3 in the league, winning them the Top 4 Champions Cup, scoring a goal in a 4-0 win against Rutherford Rangers, and a 3-1 win against Cole City. Whites signed for a year, meaning that he would only be playing until the 2006-07 season. Whites won Sogi A and the Top 4 Champions Cup, scoring 44 goals and assisting 41. After some hard thinking, Whites signed for 2 years as manager Steve Rock negotiate a deal about a 2-year loan to Bayer.

### Bayer (loan)

As promised, Whites returned to Bayer. He managed to satisfy the BBA, scoring 57 goals and assisting 52 (his prime). He also won his second Mi' Award and his third Best Striker Gold. He also won the 2007-08 Sogi A. In addition, his value became very high (260 million in just 30 days)

**Here's a time-lapse since JULY 24 2007.**

By the start of the 2008-09 season, he was awarded the Blueballer Decade Award. He scored 34 goals and had got 11 assists. His form had decreased as he suffered three injures, a concussion (6 matches missed), leg muscle sprain (7 matches missed) and an arm sprain (8 matches missed). However, he tried to aid this situation by becoming a coach for the days he became manager. Bayer's coach, James Greenwood, awarded Whites with the Best Player for Bayer All Time and the Custom Attacker award. Whites repersented the "Player-International Cup", which he won 3-3 (6-5) against Millard Powers. He also scored 5 more goals during preseason
