Following his move to Blackburn Rovers, Peter Whittingham has asked for us to release the below note to the Cardiff City support…
“I’ve had ten-and-a-half awesome years at Cardiff City, reached several cup finals that I never thought I’d reach, won promotion and played a lot of games at this great Club.
“For me now, it is time for a new challenge. I’m not one of those footballers who can train all week and sit and watch a match. I want to play as many games as possible - and I think at this stage of my career this move will help me to do so.
“I would like to thank the players and staff who I’ve had the privilege of working with, and playing alongside, at firstly Ninian Park, and later Cardiff City Stadium.
“I must say, my rapport with the Cardiff City supporters is something that I’ve always cherished. Hearing the Bluebirds fans sing ‘that song’ made every moment wearing the no. 7 shirt even brighter. Thank you all for your support.
“City’s result will be the first I check every Saturday evening.”
Whitts"
Welling up here, and I'm being serious for once
This is the bit that got me
“I must say, my rapport with the Cardiff City supporters is something that I’ve always cherished. Hearing the Bluebirds fans sing ‘that song’ made every moment wearing the no. 7 shirt even brighter. Thank you all for your support."
I'd love to play them in the cup or something and give him the ovation he deserves - I wouldn't even mind if he scored against us
The man will always, always be a Cardiff City legend. One of the true Cardiff City greats. He goes with everyones best wishes and hope that he has a tremendous couple of years with Blackburn Rovers. It would be wonderful if he got a chance to return to play at Cardiff sometime over the next couple of years and even better to see him back in some capacity at Cardiff after his playing days are over.
Sad to see a player so deserving of his City Legendary status leave. I hope he does really well. He deserves too.
gutted a true city legend . All the best for the future peter

A club legend. Sad day.
CCFC legend and a perfect pro. Thanks for countless magical moments Whitts.
He'll be back I'm sure in some capacity in the future.

Classy statement from a classy player and even classier guy.
Whitts oozes class.
A great player for our club , who has providd some magic moments. Has infuriated me at times , however I think we are going to realise how good he was now he has gone.
The right time to move on for me. Good luck Whitts.
