The greatest bluebird I ever saw. I wanted you back at the club to help younger players learn from your unbelievable talent. That will now never be. But we will love you forever.
Thank you for the years of magic and the unforgettable goals, including the best goal I ever saw with my own eyes.
You're a bloody Legend Whitts. Possibly the best midfielder in the history of the Championship. I will never forget what you did for us.
Terrible for Peter and his family and hard to believe. There are many football fans around the country who will be saddened to hear of this. It will hit Cardiff fans the most as he was a legend at your club. It says something that he stayed in South Wales at the end of his career.
R.I.P. Whitts, a true cardiff City legend. One of the best players I have seen, in my 52 years of watching us play, to wear ever wear the shirt.
Sincere condolences at this very sad time to his family and friends
You tend to think if someone is in hospital they'll fix it. Obviously they can't always. So very sad.
Gutted about this was hoping for a happy ending for all concerned
Awful news.
RIP Whitts.
So, so sad. RIP Peter.
Our thought are with Peter's family and friends at this very sad time.
Stunned. I was hoping he would pull through. Heaven's eleven have another team mate. Too young. RIP Whitts. That free kick v Leicester. Special, just special.
R.I.P. Peter.
Tragic news.
I can tell people that I had the privilege to watch you play.
RIP LEGEND.
Devastated... RIP Peter.
Truly awful if not unexpected news. Our finest player of the last 50 years who gave us so many of those wonderful moments that are the reason we want to watch football matches in the first place. Thoughts very much with his family. RIP Whitts.
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
Absolutely. Realistically he was always too good for us. It feels like I’ve lost a family member today. I’m not ashamed to admit I cried like a baby when the official word came, even tho it was expected. Fly high Bluebird.Originally Posted by Shute
Definitely. Retire the shirt and name the Ninian Stand after him before we resume!
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
RIP Whitts
thanks for 10 years of pleasure
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.
Nicely put Bob
