R.I.P to a City legend, such a talent. Heartfelt wishes to Family and Friends #7.
Gutted. RIP Whitts. Gave me my best memories in football, and I think he will always be my favourite player. So sad for his family. 35 is no age.
i know it might sound odd but i still cant believe he is 35 i kinda looked up to him sort of thing... like as if he was older, i dont know if that makes sense and i suppose it does not need too...
just sad... had so many expectations on him during match days, and jumped and leaped for joy when he scored, and as we all know he barely ever broke a smile or celebrated, i liked that sort of confident silent aggression about him
looking back i really would have like to have known him for a chat other than just a player i admired from the stand...
minds wandering now its like a bad dream all this... crazy
rip sir peter
tragic..rip
Speechless....RIP Whitt’s you legend. Gutted
RIP Whitts
thanks for 10 years of pleasure :thumbup:
Rest In Peace City Legend x
RIP Whitts
#RetireSeven
I remember being at a home game when Malky was in charge. We had a free kick a few metres outside the opposition penalty area and Whitts was stood over the ball. The Canton Stand was singing the "He does what he wants" song.
"Why are they singing that?" I heard someone sat near me ask. They must not have seen him play before.
Whitts struck the ball perfectly into the top corner of the goal. The keeper had no chance.
"That's why," came the reply just as the ball hit the back of the net. Of course, Whitts didn't celebrate.
We were so lucky to have him.
Welling up watching his goals here. Absolutely gutted.
That’s so weird, maybe we stood close to each other because I can remember exactly that scenario!
Realistically he was always better than us, we were incredibly lucky to have him. Villa made a huge mistake letting him go, he would have been just as impressive in the EPL!
A provider of memories all of us will remember forever. He will go down in City folklore.
RIP Whitts.
Just gutted,RIP all my thoughts are for his family and friends.
Just so sad. Saw that he was dead, and then he wasn't and then there was hope. And then he was.
Not really a consolation for your family, but you were the most naturally gifted player I saw at the City. Thanks for all the good times.
Horrible news.
Tribute from Ramsey quoted online :
“I will forever be grateful for you taking me under your wing. You were one of the most technical and gifted players I’ve played with and that left foot of yours was like a wand. I’m proud to have played alongside you and will always remember the young vs old games and you just running the show. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family, rest in peace Whitts was too young.”
So very sad. A brilliant footballer and a legend for many of us fans. Worse, we will not have a chance to show our feelings at his funeral, which because of Covid-19 will be a private family gathering.
To name a stand in his name would be appropriate and may give a chance to express our feelings at the naming ceremony.
As a Trust member I ask the Trust Board to raise this with the CCFC Board so that we can give this exceptional footballer of ours a permanent place in our memories and at our stadium
Nothing to add than he was one of the very best I've seen in a City shirt .
I started watching in the 70's.
Such a gifted player , easily the greatest dead ball player we've ever seen .
Penalties were always going in, keepers knew that as well .
Thanks Whitts x
One of the best, thanks for everything Peter
His autobiography was the one I most wanted to read. It wouldn't be so much a Peter Whittingham story as Cardiff City's over a 10(ish) year period where so much was going on and so many of the better memories were created, or finished, by Whitts. Thoughts with his family and friends.
Absolutely gutted, I've not stopped crying. Strange how you react isn't it.
My all time favourite player, still remember the noise of the ball cannoning in off the post at Leicester away, think it was a play off game.
Life is very cruel and very short, so raise a glass, say a silent thank you for the memories and remember we are here for a good time not a long time.
RIP Whitts
My favourite city player of all time. It’s gonna take something to knock him off that pedestal. He brought a lot of joy to many a city fan’s life.
Thoughts and prayers with his family, having to go through this amongst all the current doom and gloom.
Wherever he is, I hope he’s pinging ‘em in with the best of them and celebrating sheepishly.
RIP WHITTS
Very sad, way too young. Condolences to family and friends
So very sad, my thoughts and sympathy go out to the family of Peter Whittingham. An absolute gem of a player for Cardiff. Rest in peace Whitts.
