'I've never revealed the whole story': England fans wouldn't boo me if they knew the truth, says Ben White

White defends his World Cup exit, saying he has never fully explained his reasons for leaving Qatar after the group stages.

Ben White has broken his silence on his departure from England's World Cup squad in Qatar, insisting there is more to the story than has been publicly revealed. The defender left the camp after the group stages citing personal reasons, though reports later suggested a falling out with assistant manager Steve Holland.

White now suggests England fans would understand his decision if they knew the full picture, though he stops short of disclosing what actually happened. The exact nature of his exit has remained unclear since the tournament.
