God bless you Peter Whittingham - what a player - will always be in my favourite team of all time (along with Dave Bennett)
Happy retirement and have a nice cup of tea
Sounds about right. I seem to remember some years ago when there was talk of him being sold (to Forest perhaps?), one of our players did an informal chat behind the scenes, spilling the beans etc for something like Soccer AM, Football Focus or something like that. The player said there was no chance of Whitts leaving because it would mean him having to unplug and set up his XBox somewhere else.
I have 2 pet rats, and I named them Whitts and Earnie... Seems quite fitting that I honoured him like this the year he has retired! 😂
Easily the most gifted player I saw in a City shirt in my lifetime. An absolute pleasure to watch.
Simply magnificent. One of my all time favourite footballers. And a wand of a left foot. Thanks for the memories whitts
You sometimes hear rumours about footballers who don't like the game. That was said sometimes about Whitts and his nature and attitude tended to make me think that there could be some truth in it - there's absolutely no way I could see someone like him going into coaching.
My favourite City player by some distance of recent years - a true City great. Somehow, I don't think he's been too bothered about not having a testimonial game, but, if I'm wrong and he is, then the club should pull out all of the stops to get something done for him.
heard a rumour he's been named as the deckchair man on penarth pier...fitting..
the best left foot there ever was
I'd buy his autobiography in a heart beat; just think about what he would have experienced with us: Ninian Park, Ridsdale then Tan (rebrand and reversal) with Hamman as life president, Cardiff City stadium with promotion and relegation, Dave Jones - Warnock. What a book it could be!
Best goal has to be one against Middlesbrough or Leicester in the play-offs.
Too many aimless long balls and poor control by JET in the build-up. Didn't he finish off goal of the month against Sheffield United in a thriller at one point?
Whitts could add a short chapter to the book about Randy Learner taking over at Aston Villa as well.
This is meant as a compliment, but I always get the impression that he was the sort of man who was untroubled by other stuff happening at the club and just got on with playing the game and, it seems, his xbox. I’m not sure you will get much insight on the boardroom stuff from him.

Scored a hat trick but yes his 3rd was a superb team goal.
