Either commission a statue or pay the actual Whittingham to stand outside the stadium on a plinth. Give him a game boy or something.
This Friday will be ten years since his first appearance, coming off the bench in a 1-0 defeat to Southend at Ninian Park. The other subs that day were Luigi Glombard and Andrea Ferretti.
10 years.
That certainly means something these days.
Legend for sure, and still more to come.
Ah yes, the day 3 club legends were first revealed!
The Glombard and Ferretti years were amongst the proudest in club history. Giants amongst men. Players beyond peers. Where are these heroes now?

Undoubted City legend. One of the clubs greatest of all time. Thanks Whitts!
Whitts has been Fantastic servant to the club and some memorable goals .
I'll never forget Bellamy telling all the people booing whitts too " shhhhhhhhhhhh" after scored
One in four from midfield is outstanding and his goal against Barnsley must be in the top 3 alltime best City goals.
Great video of all his league and (league) cup goals.
9 mins long but well worth the watch, some absolute beauties in there.

My personal favourite is his 3rd goal in the 4-3 win over Sheff Utd, brilliant, fluid football and we've seen nothing like it since. Thankfully they show the entire goal in that vid.
The goals in that video would grace the career of any footballer. He has been at the heart of the best entertainment I have had watching Cardiff City. When he finally leaves us will be when we really appreciate what he brings to the side. The power and accuracy he can generate from that left peg is astonishing!
Thanks Whitts for a decade of faithful service to CCFC.
Mucked about by managers at times but always kept his dignity
and his toys firmly in the pram.
Here's to you Peter Whittingham
City loves you more than you will know, oh oh oh
God bless you please Peter Whittingham
heaven holds a place for those that play, Hey hey hey! Hey hey hey"!
Heard it a few times but it's never really taken off. Nice time to get it going.
Not often a player will stay 10 years with a club and make an important contribution every single year. I would fully expect the club to make a highlights video for their youtube page and for pre-match entertainment for the next home game.
