Noel Whelan - "Leg"end

[BUSHEAD]

Fook me that was funny ! He made my second half !

[crusher58]

What all 2 minutes of it? where were you for the other 43?

[Darlo_Pete]

I reckon he lasted about 35 seconds, it must be a record. Hopefullt that's the last we see of Whelan.

[BUSHEAD]

to quote me "he made my second half"

Those few secs of coming on then going off were comedy gold in the terraces.

[AndyPark]

What exactly happened?

[BUSHEAD]

Whelan came on , i dont think he touched the ball , then went off .

Cue numerous songs about the crippled No.10

[BishopQuaker]

I believe his hamstring went.

[Juan_kosoff]

He made a half hearted effort to go after one ball and looked like he did himself an injury

Only at Darlo.....

[JE93]

Noel you see him noel you dont. please someone make my day and tell me thats a record

[hodgie1]

he was a complete embarrassment, to himself but more importantly to SS whose praised him in the press in recent weeks

[BUSHEAD]

"he's standing , whelans standing up"
"your going home in a darlo ambulance"
"Heather mills leg, is better than yours"
"If he was a race horse , he would be shot"

There were plenty more as well.

Credit to SS for having the guts to sub him because I got the impression he did not want to come off.

"Paraolympics in 2012, Paraolympics in 2012"

[DarloBear]

My fav was:- He's got the worst hamstrings in the world!

Noel you see him noel you dont. please someone make my day and tell me thats a record

Probably, although a few years back at Swansea, Swans brought a sub on (Boyd?) who ran straight into the box, twatted Gray/Liddle/Maddo (can't remember) and promptly got sent off without play ever re-starting.

[Darlo_H]

'He got his legs, from Heather Mills'
'Shes got more legs than you, shes got more legs than you'

[ShrewsX]

No one have a go at a version of "You'll never walk.... again"???

Whelan... Whelan... with leg... in a cast...
And he'll never walk, again

Maybe a bit harsh perhaps

"New Leg for Whelan" to the tune of taxi for whelan

Apologies for bumping this from 7 years ago, but a Facebook status of mine popped up and reminded me that 7 years ago Noel Whelans dodgy hamstrings provided much needed laughter .
Chris Brass aside, funniest moment at the arena ?

[m62exile]

35 seconds that pretty much summed up that season. It was brilliant

[Allan Quatermain]

Didn't I also read that he'd got himself in bother for homophobic tweeting about Brighton? Can't remember the full story or when it was (and I'm too idle to dig around to find out).

[Comfortably_numb]

never mind that - just seen "crusher" posted on this thread.....what happened to him / her?!

Wasn't it an away game at Dagenham?

That was the first hamstring injury. He was massively overweight also. The 35 second appearance was then at the Arena on his return from the first injury.

This one was Northampton at home on a Tuesday night, we lost 2-1.
