White wore a shirt with the number 97 and the words “Not Enough” which the judge called “an abhorrent message”.
White was fined £1,000 and banned from all regulated football games in the UK for four years.
The club also banned him for life.
The FA welcomed the sentence and said it will not tolerate any abuse referencing football tragedies.
