Whelan thanks United Academy colleagues
The 67-year-old picked up the Eamonn Dolan award for his outstanding contribution to youth coaching on Thursday evening but he was quick to insist it should be regarded as a team effort.
He thanked 1968 European Cup-winners Brian Kidd and Nobby Stiles for bringing him to the club back in 1990, at our Centre of Excellence, and admits his is a job that he absolutely loves. Things may have changed a lot since he was a young player in the 1960s but Whelan thinks the fundamental core values remain the same in the 2020s.
