Whelan was one of the most important figures in the early day of football in Dublin. He was a founding member of Bohemian in 1890 and was the club's first captain.[1] Whelan also has the honour of scoring Bohemians' first ever goal when he netted against Britannia on 1 November 1890. A respected full back, he played in the first team for over a decade and appeared in the Irish Cup Final in 1900 when Bohemians lost 2-1 to Cliftonville.
