Adam Pope and Noel Whelan are the main radio commentating duo for the Whites’ matches.
Leeds United have announced that BBC Radio Leeds will continue its coverage of the club after the two parties signed a new two-year commentary deal.
The agreement, which starts at the end of the current season, will see the radio station provide exclusive commentary of all games, home and away, until the end of the 2020-21 season.
According to Prolific North, Adam Pope will continue to lead the commentary team for BBC Radio Leeds at all Whites games and he will be joined by regular summariser Noel Whelan.
Leeds confirmed the news with an article on their official website which was also shared on their social media platforms, such as Twitter:
Leeds-born Whelan, who came through the ranks at his hometown club and made upwards of 50 appearances for the Whites (Transfermarkt), retweeted several posts relating to the news and replied to one fan:
Plenty of fans also expressed their delight with the news:
As well as Leeds, Whelan played for Coventry City, Middlesbrough, Millwall, Derby County and Aberdeen amongst other clubs, but has always retained an affinity for the Elland Road outfit.
At the turn of the century, Whelan scored against Manchester United for Middlesbrough and famously gave the Leeds salute, as reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post.
