S01 EP8: Corey Whelan

Football Journeys Podcast

Series One sees us meet Liverpool FC's Academy class of 2013/14.
Episode Eight is with Corey Whelan. A Cheshire boy who grew up a Red, influenced by his Irish father. He captained Liverpool at u23 level and lived his grandad's dream when he pulled on the green of Ireland at u21 level. Loan moves to Yeovil and Crewe saw him get a taste of the harsh realities of men's football. Like so many others leaving Liverpool was tough and a fresh start in the desert in Arizona, which saw him reach one USL Play Off Semi Final and win another, looked like the perfect move but, like so many others, Covid-19 hit him and Corey is now working hard to secure a move back into the Football League.
