Peter Whittingham released

[the other bob wilson]

I'd say he was the best player in the Championship for a while during the early days of Malky Mackay's time here and we'd never have seen him play for us if he had the pace of, say, a Junior Hoilett - he'd also have won full international caps if he had that bit of pace and acceleration.

A genuine City great and I hope he doesn't now drop down the divisions as he declines - he's 34 a week today, so, maybe, this is a good time for someone who, allegedly, was not that keen on football to call it a day?

Agree with all of that. Great player for us. Thanks for the memories, Whitts.
