Peter Michael Whittingham

[jon1959]

Whitts has been a fantastic player for this club - and in the 10 years he has been with Cardiff he has been the face of the team for most of the time - even when playing with Bellamy, Chops, SuperKev and the rest. Unfortunately the rise and (slight) fall of Whitts has mirrored the club as a whole.

There may never be another Peter Whittingham playing for Cardiff, but I am confident some other iconic figure will emerge to represent the team. The goals are brilliant, but what I love best about Whitts is the downbeat, self-depreciatory manner - the attachment to the club and city and and loyalty that is so rare nowadays.

Great player. Great achievement!

10 years is rare these days

BUT Whitts has always put in a shift ( in his own way )

played a part of all 10 seasons, his goals have turned games

Cheers Whitts

Whitts is my favourite City player of all time. Just under 400 league games and over 80 league goals, magnificent achievement! His contract is up in the summer, the club should sort it out asap, he's definitely got a few more years in him yet.

Who could not love him?

He deserves a testimonial against Real Madrid
My hope would be that we play better than against Fulham!

Our last two games, in which he has been absent, have summed up the Whittingham dilemma as he approaches his 33rd birthday - Aston Villa beaten by a team that worked harder than them while playing to a fairly rigid game plan and then a feeble FA Cup defeat where we were crying out for a bit of "magic" as we showed skill levels that would have embarrassed a League Two side.

There's a thread on the go about City legends and I reckon I've seen no more than five of them since 1963, but, although it may not sound like it at times judging by what I say about him, Whitts is one of them. I'm so pleased he made it to a decade's service to the club - who is there who could beat him for the award of Championship Player of the decade 2007 to 2017? I can't think of anyone.

Agree, for me one of the best awaydays too.
Thank you Whitts
