The icon was also known for his roles scrummaging in the front row for Leicester Tigers.
21 years after his huge win White revealed that he left it behind to tend to his magnificent Crabtree Farm, in Leicestershire.
The former star revealed he started his beloved farm in 2006, towards the end of his time playing rugby in Leicester, he told The Telegraph.

He said: "It was fantastic at Leicester but I started thinking about life after rugby.
"I rented a field, had a few sheep. And if you just have one thing to focus on – just rugby – it’s not healthy."
White shared how people assume he is able to splash millions of pounds in cash, but he revealed this is far from the truth.

The former athlete revealed how some other farmers have misunderstood how his sporting past has affected his current life.
White said: "A lot of them are quite cagey.
England rugby star Anthony Watson forced to retire aged 30 or risk living in constant pain"And, because I was a rugby player, they have this bizarre idea that I’m some sort of multi-millionaire, but I’m nowhere near that."
The rugby pro revealed he loved his farm but shared that life was not all rosy in his new career.
Money, extreme weather, and experience were all hurdles to creating and running his beloved farm.
He said: "There have been huge setbacks.
"We had the ‘Beast from the East’ during lambing season and suddenly all my lambs were frozen in the pens, stuff like that.
"You were struggling to break even anyway and then you have that to deal with. Floods. It can be an absolute b***ard."
Despite these difficulties, White has carried on his title-winning theme from his old career.
He has won multiple national awards for his cattle and has opened up his farm gates to visitors.

White said: "I don’t want to sound like one of these moany farmers. I love what I do. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be doing it."

Get ready for a special family-themed episode of JTBC’s “Knowing Bros” (“Ask Us Anything”)!
On January 18, the popular variety show aired a sneak peek of its upcoming Lunar New Year special, which will feature three celebrity family duos as guests. KISS OF LIFE’s Belle and STAYC’s Sieun will appear together with their respective fathers Shim Sin and Park Nam Jung, both of whom are legendary singers in Korea. Sisters BIBI and tripleS’s NaKyoung will also be guesting on the show together.
In the newly released preview, Sieun dances with Park Nam Jung to his iconic hit “Dreaming of You,” which is famous for its choreography. Meanwhile, Shim Sin sings KISS OF LIFE’s hit song “Sticky” together in a special duet with Belle.
After BIBI enviously says she wishes she were Park Nam Jung’s or Shim Sin’s daughter, she remarks that she and sister NaKyoung didn’t fight much while they were growing up. However, NaKyoung swiftly begs to differ, insisting they fought a lot. Later, the two siblings playfully sing Block B’s “Nillili Mambo” together.
The guests and “Knowing Bros” cast members then don hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) to play a guessing game together. When Sieun argues with her dad over a story about an amusement park trip, Lee Sang Min—who doesn’t have children of his own—woefully shares, “I want to argue with my daughter too.”
Finally, the preview ends with a brief glimpse of Sieun and Park Nam Jung performing “A Whole New World” from the “Aladdin” soundtrack together.
Check out the full preview below!
