'''Robert Allan White''' (born 15 October 1979) is a former English professional [[cricketer]] and current [[umpire (cricket)|umpire]].
== Biography == [[File:RobWhite.JPG|thumb|White playing for Northamptonshire]] Born 15 October 1979, [[Chelmsford]], Essex, White received his upper school education at [[Stowe School]] in Buckinghamshire before attending [[Durham University|Durham]] ([[St John's College, Durham|St John's College]]) and [[Loughborough University|Loughborough]] Universities.<ref>{{cite book |editor1-last=Marshall |editor1-first=Chris |title=The Cricketer's Who's Who |date=2008 |publisher=Green Umbrella |location=Swindon |page=708}}</ref>
He played [[cricket]] for [[Northamptonshire County Cricket Club|Northamptonshire]]. He was a right-handed [[batsman]] and bowl [[off break]]s. His [[Limited overs cricket|limited overs]] high score was 111 versus [[Warwickshire]] at [[Northampton]] in 2008, while his [[First-class cricket|first-class]] high score is 277 versus [[Gloucester]] at [[Northampton]], which holds the record for the highest maiden [[Century (cricket)|century]] in the United Kingdom including 107 before lunch on the first day. During the same [[innings]], he set the club's record first wicket partnership of 375 with [[Mark Powell (cricketer, born 1980)|Mark Powell]]. His nickname amongst teammates is 'Toff', whilst a 'player profile' set up for a televised [[Twenty20]] match listed his 'favourite food' as 'anything posh' – a joke by team-mates.
