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
