Justin Whittle was born in Derby and began his career in the Army and
was deployed to Germany where he served with the British Army of the
Rhine. Whilst in Germany he played football in an army tournament and
was spotted by scouts from Celtic and he joined them along with Gary
Holt. After a season at Celtic both joined Lou Macari at Stoke City and
Whittle made his professional debut away at Southend United in the
1995–96 season. He played in both of the club's play-off matches against
Leicester City at the end of the season as Stoke lost 1–0. He made
40 appearances in 1996–97 as Stoke finished in a mid-table position of
12th. In 1997–98 Stoke suffered relegation to the Second Division,
however Whittle did manage to win the player of the year award despite
playing in just 20 league matches. Under Brian Little in 1998–99 he
played in 15 matches scoring his only goal for Stoke against Reading on 3
October 1998. After falling out with manager Little, Whittle was sold
to Hull City in November 1998. |
