    Oh my goodness. What a horrible year this is.
    Terrible news. We've lost a legend and a real gentleman. So sorry for his friends and family.
    RIP Peter and thank you for all the joy you brought to the people of Cardiff and the footballing world.

    A great player, not without his limitations, with an amazing left foot.
    Not only that, but a modest man who seemed to shun the limelight.
    A genuine character taken from the world too soon.

    Always an understated sort of guy - nothing brash, just a real footballing gentleman.

    If you've got a few minutes, have a look at this training camp interview with him made a few years back...............

    Absolutely tragic RIP Whitts

    We never got to say goodbye to him properly as a player and under current circumstances will not be able to now.

    When all this C Virus stuff is over I implore the club to do the right thing and set up something appropriate in his honour.

    In the meantime my heart goes out to his family and close friends.

    He deserves a statue outside the ground. Not many players in this day would have given over 10 years to a club, especially at his peak he would have had offers to move on.

    Absolutely heartbreaking

    Terrible terrible news. Absolutely shocked.
    He was one of several Cardiff players I admired and would have loved to have had playing for us at the Gate.
    Sincere condolences - mixed with some anger about the manner of his death - to all his close friends, family and fans.

    That is really apt. Over 400 games and not far short of 100 goals. A total legend. People talk of great City players over the years and he fits into the highest bracket.
    I’d really hoped to have seen him walk onto the pitch when the season resumes to accept our accolade for him but sadly that’s not going to happen.
