    I'm pretty sure the #7 shirt was already retired last season.

    Why would the club announce it was being retired now if they already did it last season (which they didn't - see other posts re Bacuna).

    I wouldn't read anything into that, a lot of players like to keep their first squad numbers (think McCormack 44, Ampadu also 44, Alexander-Arnold 66 etc).

    I believe Isaak Davies in particular wears 39 because it was Bellamy's number.

    Nice gesture, I still find it hard to believe what happened to Whitts.

    Kit looks quite nice in that picture

    If any player deserved their number retired it’s Whitts. A top class player and on the few occasions I interacted with him, a top class gent.

    Truly a Cardiff city legend that will be talked about for decades.

    Same here and I’m not a Cardiff fan. A good thing to do but still awful that he lost his life at such a young age and in an innocuous fashion.

    Right decision from the club.

    Good points about keeping favourite numbers. However, as a show of support/confidence in Colwill especially, I’d have liked to see him handed a ‘main man’ squad number.

    I think that goes against how Morison seems to want to handle the youngsters.
    he wants them to always be striving to improve and not think that they've already made it

    When I go in the Park Hotel, where Whitts had his tragic fall, I still find it difficult to believe what happened and how his life, was cut short too early. It was only a few weeks later, that all pubs were shut as a result if COVID.

    Don’t always agree with retiring numbers, Birmingham City with Jude Bellingham as a perfect example.

    But Whitts deserves it, probably our greatest ever player who went so tragically. Well done the club.

    Who’s the number 9 then 👀

    That was odd.

    Whitts makes sense, legend of the club (I don’t say that lightly)
