Ronnie Whelan is a Liverpool legend who scored some vital goals in a red shirt and captained the team.
When Whelan started his career, he was set to become one of the game's greats. The promising Irishman was voted the best young player of the year in his first full season (1981-82) and scored two goals in the League cup final against Tottenham.
Whelan moved into a central midfield role when John Barnes arrived and prospered alongside him with greater responsibility, increased when he was made captain.

Whelan didn't get the recognition he deserved while he was playing. The other Liverpool players knew how important he was to the team and they publicly stated this, but Whelan was never nominated for player of the year, while his central midfield partner Steve McMahon was. Whelan had excellent passing and shooting skills, knit together Liverpool's play and was very dependable. Regretably his club and international career petered out due to injury and he just faded away from both club and national squads.

Rubbish. Of course he got plenty recognition. Steve Highway was no different. They both straddled two different eras in their Liverpool careers. Steve from start of the 70s into the 80s & Ronnie 80s into the 90s. They all got plenty medals & that's the only recognition you need.

The two player's I used to dream of being as a lad were Alan Hansen and Ronnie Whelan , both pivotal players in that team.

Cracking player. It was a nice touch by club skipper Alan Hansen: after missing most of the '88-'89 season through injury, he allowed Ronnie to collect the FA Cup, even though he returned to the side. Whelan had skippered the club magificently in Hansen's absence.

Shows how good the Liverpool midfield was in the 80's. People like Case and Sheedy had to move on to get games. Ronnie managed a place somewhere in the MF all through into the 90's. He was competing with people like McMahon, Spackman, McDonald, Wark. Molby, Johnston, Houghton, Barnes and later on, Hutchison, Redknapp, McManaman and Michael Thomas...you can't keep those guys out of a side and not be useful...

Sadly, Liverpool FC don't have a creditable record when it comes to treating former heroes. Bill Shankly and Chris Lawler spring immediately to mind

What a player!!! Here’s a story. Pull up a chair. I was manning a border crossing point from Republic of Ireland/Northern Ireland about 90/91. I boarded a coach on its way into NI. A couple at the back of the coach must have heard my accent & shouted down,” are you a scouser?” I told them that I was. I got chatting & they were Whelans parents

It was in there. Loved it, too - the way Ronnie went for a left foot pass, and when the rebound came back he thought: "Sod it" and curled in a beauty with his so-called "weaker" right foot. Sheer quick-thinking confidence and skill.
