Glenn Simpson "Keeper" McWhinney (August 10, 1930 – April 14, 2012) was a Canadian football player who played for the Edmonton Eskimos and Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He won the Grey Cup with the Eskimos in 1954.[1] McWhinney's football career was ended in 1956 when he sustained a broken neck. He later joined the Blue Bombers as a scout from 1956 to 1958. McWhinney also played basketball in the Winnipeg Men's Senior League. He died in 2012; a park in Winnipeg is named after him.[2][3][4][5]
McWhinney's son Jeff serves as the current keeper of the Grey Cup trophy.[6]
