In an Open Mike special in the 20th year since Whitten’s death after a long battle with prostate cancer, Mike Sheahan unpacks the story of the iconic life and times of ‘Mr Football’.

Sheahan and Whitten Jnr retrace one of the most memorable moments in the history of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where E.J. did his final lap of the hallowed turf.
