Whelan was my favourite player of that era , I've always loved watching mavericks .
I don't think he scored to many ordinary goals and scored one of the best goals I've ever seen live .Think it was Middlesbrough at home on a frozen pitch , players playing in astro turf trainers, and he picked it up on the halfway line and beat 5-6 players before scoring .
If he had lead a better off field life he would've played for England

Remember that goal well, and another similar againt Everton (I think) the same season. Also a goal against Liverpool where he stuck out his leg mid air to wrap it around that ball and guide it in.

Real maverick, and a nice bloke...just a bit of a wild one at times

I think joining the Villa has cast a shadow on Hadji for me. Plus he did go missing a few times during the two seasons he was with us.
Keane was absurdly talented too, but the one season he was with us we didn’t win away.

Whelan was a bit of flawed genius, which I’m always drawn to.

I really hate this cobblers. Regis/Dublin 2 of the best players to ever pull on the shirt-na bollocks to them they’re shit because they left and joined Villa.

Who’s saying bollocks to anyone? Especially Cyrille and Dion who, respectfully, gave more to the club than Hadji?
