Reporter Whitney and fellow Non-League writer Tony Williams stood alongside founder David Emery in setting up The NLP back in 1999.

His involvement began in the early 1970s as an apprentice at Swansea City, for whom he went on to play for their youth and reserve teams before being signed by future Manchester United manager Ron Atkinson for Kettering Town.
