Football career

White founded Dorking Wanderers in 1999 along with Mark Lewington, Ian Davidson, Lee Spickett and Penny Gregg. The club were founded in Division 5 of the Crawley & District Football League. He helped Dorking Wanderers achieve 12 promotions within 23 seasons from the English seventeenth tier to the English fifth tier. In March 2023, in a National League game against York City, White was sent off in the 16th minute of the game after berating the linesmen. At the end of the game, he later confronted the match officials at the car park outside the York Community Stadium which resulted in him getting a worse punishment which then resulted in The FA giving him a lengthy 8-game stadium ban. Marc White later on revealed in podcasts that he was hungover the night before which left him in a bad mood ahead of the game. This is thus far one of his most severe punishments. They were relegated from the National League at the end of the 2023–24 season. In June 2025, The FA gave White a six-match touchline ban for a sexist comment about women on a podcast. In September 2025, Marc White and Dorking Wanderers made the headlines when they opted to sign a 54-year-old fan and supporter of Dorking to play as an emergency goalkeeper ahead of a game against AFC Totton due to their first-choice goalkeeper, Harrison Foulkes injuring his spleen the previous game.

In 2020 Dorking Wanderers became one of the main subjects of the non-league football channel, Bunch of Amateurs.

Personal life

White made his name as a banker in the City of London before starting a successful marketing business. Growing up as a Wimbledon fan, White became frustrated with the destruction of his club and decided to start his own team instead of watching, founding Dorking Wanderers in 1999.
