That goal against Brighton they mention is not one of his most well known ones, but there aren't many players who could have scored it - he also scored a great goal at their place in 2012 I think it was.

Will always take a moment for Peter Whittingham.LEGEND.

The Grange End Family Stand.
“ WHITTS END “

Re: Take a moment for Whitts.

Whitts end is too much of a pun for me, but we 100% need to give him a stand.

The Peter Whittingham Family Stand. Has to be.
If you want to abbreviate it to "Whitts' End" or just "the Whitts'.....fine. He was surely one of our best players of all time. Remembered and not forgotten.

'Whitts End' is quality. Would accurately describe the emotion of most City fans.

Couldn't believe it when we signed him from Villa. Thought it was some kind of mistake by the Echo.

When it was confirmed, got straight on the phone to Susanne, who was working in the Commercial department of the City at the time and sponsored his first teams shirt.

I still cherish the photo we had taken at the end of the seasons presentation.

What a man, what a player.

Re: Take a moment for Whitts.

Such a sad day for a massive talent and someone, much too young. If he wasn’t playing, when injured, it was always a disappointment as we were a much better team, obviously with him in it.

Taken much too soon. A football legend in the true sense.

I agree Bluetit, I also recall thinking wow, when Dave Jones signed him from Villa. He certainly didn’t disappoint over his 10 years with us, best player I’ve seen in a Cardiff shirt and I’ve been going since the early 70’s

Great player
Even better human being

Re: Take a moment for Whitts.

Favourite city player of all time. Loved his style of play and temperament.

Would be fantastic if the club name a stand after him as some have suggested above. Feel like he’d raise a wry smile from above to having it colloquially referred to as the Whitt’s End by supporters.

I’ll be raising a glass for him on Saturday regardless, but here’s hoping it’s a triumphant one.

Re: Take a moment for Whitts.

Naming a stand after him would be a great thing for the fans to return to when we’re allowed back.

Re: Take a moment for Whitts.

No matter how many times I've seen his goals I can watch them over and over and not get bored.

When we’re fully back in the ground not the reduced attendance games it would be marvellous for a giant tifo to be unfurled and passed around the stadium. Looking back this last year of the montages of his goals I’ve realised what a lucky man I am to have witnessed Peter Whittingham in a City shirt.

Some of the derogatory comments made about him in his last couple of seasons with us were unfair.
