David Wheater

[Muttley]

Seems odd wishing a guy "enjoy your retirement" who is half my age!

But good luck with whatever you do next Wheats.

Too lad. Many a call for an England selection! Probably just out of his reach, but top pro and clearly a well liked lad at this and other clubs

Served him in the bookies next to the Coronation the day after he made his 3 minute debut in a European tie. He put me right on the exact number of minutes and seconds he was on the pitch . Lovely lad.

He’s one of our own David Wheater he’s one of our own.

And now I feel really old as I remember his debut.

 

[Winston Smith]

My youngest is in his academy and he is amazing with all the kids. He’s a really great coach.

Always remember the chant of "Feed the chin and he will score" during the FA youth Cup run.

A cracking bloke. I've followed him on twitter during his darlo days. He's clearly been massively effected by injuries.

I wish him a great retirement. Just seems a genuine character. The kinda bloke you'd go for a beer with.

I remember him talking about how he used to play bingo on the sea front with his GF. Then joked how he could buy a bingo hall when he signed a decent Boro deal

He's got some crazy Boro stories. I laughed at a few about Tuncay. Apparently a bit of a drinker and smoker lol.

Forever known as "David the one man wrecking machine Wheater" in the commentators words, against Arsenal I believe after he made a double tackle.

Wheats and Ayala the last CBs I remember contributing from corners
