Andrew John Whing (born 20 September 1984) is an English football manager and former professional player who played as a right back. He is the manager of club Banbury United. Playing career Coventry City Whing was born in Birmingham West Midlands. He grew up supporting Aston Villa and had trials at Birmingham City and Derby County before joining Coventry City at the age of thirteen. While progressing at the club's academy, Whing was released and then re-signed. Whing eventually came through the ranks at Coventry and was appointed captain at the club's academy.
