In a tweet confirming the news, Cardiff said: "Peter’s memorial match will take place at Cardiff City Stadium later this year, with planning now in its advanced stages.
"More information on how you can be part of this special day will follow in the coming weeks."
In an earlier post, the club wrote: "It’s been two years since we lost you. Our friend, our colleague, our teammate, our hero."

FA cup final team versus League cup final team?
The 1925 side against the 2008 side….the ‘27 side would be too goodQuote:

The pre season would be better, it could be a Peter Whittingham tournament.
All the more reason for having it earlier, so fans don’t stay home watching World Cup gamesQuote:
