These Lrrfd United fans have reacted to Noel Whelan’s latest tweet which seems to hint at a Sky Sports News appearance.
Whelan scored 43 Premier League goals, in a professional football career that ended at Darlington in July 2010, after playing for clubs such as Leeds United, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough. However, the 44-year-old is still a popular figure amongst Leeds fans.
Here’s what the Leeds United fans had to say about the tweet:

What Do We Think?
This is a great step for Noel Whelan to take, if he can become a regular on Sky Sports then he will quickly become a household name throughout the country, which could help put Leeds even further on the map or, as some appear to have suggested, make the correct statements about their club on the mainstage.
