Dorking Wanderers maverick Marc White has claimed he is the Charles Bronson of football.<\/p>\n

White, 49, is known for being the founder, owner, chairman and manager of National League side Dorking. He formed the club in 1999 with a group of friends with the intention of \u201chaving a kickabout and enjoying a beer after the game\u201d.<\/p>\n

But White has since guided his club all the way to the fifth tier of English football after an incredible 12 promotions in 24 years. The impact of Wanderers on their community in Surrey has been a symbol of their success, with thousands turning out for their home games at Meadowbank.<\/p>\n

Yet the larger-than-life White still has his eyes on another promotion, this time to the Football League for the very first time, which would see Dorking play at Wembley Stadium in a promotion final. And he's now compared himself to Britain's most notorious prisoner.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Under The Cosh podcast, White said: \u201cWe want to get promoted and we\u2019d have to do a lot of work [with the stadium]. But I think if we could just get to the play-offs, get to a Wembley final.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI\u2019d love to f***ing get sent off at Wembley,\u201d to laughter from the podcasters. \u201cThat\u2019s the goal. Straight red. But maximise on the occasion, so like [in the] 89th minute. <\/p>\n

\u201cI would dress the same way I always have – no suits. I\u2019m a bit of an icon for s*** clobber.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

White aired his grievances towards the Football Association and the current state of the game throughout the interview. He revealed the FA would likely contact him after the podcast\u2019s release, before going on to compare himself to Bronson, who has famously spent much of his life in prison, having twice been jailed for robbery, only to have his sentences extended for attacks on fellow inmates and guards.<\/p>\n

White joked: \u201cThe FA now will probably write to me with various charges they\u2019ve created at Scotland Yard. They send us emails after every interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do feel like I\u2019ve become the f***ing Charles Bronson. The bloke that just gets done for f*** all and then for 40 years, locked up and he can\u2019t help himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just quite passionate about it all. But I\u2019d love to go on the other side of the fence. I always say to the FA that I\u2019d love to come in and sort your problems out.\u201d<\/p>\n
