Classy interview as well, no grudges or ill will towards anyone.
A charity match around christmas time would be my wish.
A testimonial is a must. In the meantime it would be great if we drew Blackburn at home in one of the cup competitions & Whitts could then get his wish.
An absolute club legend. 100% Class.
Christmas? He's still playing!Quote:

Trying to think of synonyms for 'effortless'..... :-)
Says the guy who dumped him unceremoniously and with not a word of explanation......:sherlock:Quote:

Some kind of Whits event sooner rather than later would be so good. These kind of affairs can risk fizzling out a bit if ages pass before they come to fruition - which could be likely in this case.
Not always wise for a player to appear overly sentimental when they have moved to a new team. We know how fans can be.
It's a tricky one now and a real shame that he didn't simply get a great send-off.
I hope something can happen.
It will be very different if Blackburn get promotion and we are in the same division next yearQuote:

Yeah I think in Whitts case it was a case of couldn't be arsed to move more than loyalty but a club legend is not over playing his contributionQuote:
