Chris Boden has just tweeted that there are reports he has died aged 35. Absolutely no age. RIP

RIP Whitts. Only 7 games for us but what a great career in Cardiff.
Condolences to family and friends.

Nothing said by Cardiff City

[KateR]

[Bosscat]

Bloody Hell.... RIP Whitts

Thoughts with his family at this time...

[Tricky Trevor]

Nothing said by Cardiff City

Sorry CT. the link is the fan forum.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Absolutely dreadful news, shocking

RIP Peter


(Former teammate Micheal Chopra has tweeted his condolences so I imagine the dreadful news is unfortunately true)

[IanMcL]

That is not right. No one should die so young.

[NickBFC]

Awful news, I remember him playing for us. Absolutely no age at all.

Edit, seems there is some confusion over the story - I hope it isn't true.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Wow that is a shock, no age at all.

[wilks_bfc]

Shocking if true but is it actually true?

There is no mention on any official source anywhere

[Claret Till I Die]

Terrible news

[conyoviejo]

So sad.. R.I.P. Peter..

[bob-the-scutter]

Cracking footballer, so sad for anyone to pass away so young.
RIP Peter

[Paul Waine]

Sad news. RIP.

[tiger76]

Blimey shocking news RIP Peter.

[BurnleyFC]

That’s absolutely tragic news.

[Stanbill05]

Still nothing official/ in the mainstream media that I could see. Feels very strange. In fact the whole story feels strange. I hope it's because it's not true.

[Gp8419]

Very bizarre so sad if true,but there as just been a tweet from a villa fanzine saying I hope he pulls through (intensive care),sad either way but the people who reported he was dead in the first instance need a telling off it’s out of order.

[Rodneyyouplonker]

Still nothing official although last night wiki said was a footballer and this morning it says is a footballer so I’m hoping it’s fake news. Bad taste whatever the scenario

[bodge]

BBC are reporting he is in hospital fighting for his life, he is not dead.

[ClaretTony]

I thought the sensible thing to do was to lock this thread given what had been posted on it.

Sadly, it has now been confirmed that Pete Whittingham has passed away.

[ClaretTony]

Just a few words on site now

[Burypaddy]

Just read it myself puts things into prospective. Rip Peter

[Burnley1989]

Possibly one of the best players in the Championship for about 10 years, awful news and I must admit to getting the goosebumps & lump in my throat reading about it.

My heart goes out to his young family, it’s heartbreaking

[ecc]

What can you say? 35.

RIP Peter.

[Lord Beamish]

Just goes to show how fragile life can be.

R.I.P. Peter.

[Murger]

Shocking news. RIP Peter x

[BOYSIE31]

Shocking news RIP

[beddie]

Absolutely awful to hear that. He did a great job for us. My sincere condolences to all his family.

[turfytopper]

Awful news...devastating for his family and friends.

[ecc]

He had an excellent career at Cardiff. I recall Tony saying [please correct me if my memory is playing me up, Tony] he was apparently incredibly shy.

I've just double-checked and his first manager at Cardiff was David Jones. He presumably helped PW overcome that shyness and realise his potential.

[Silkyskills1]

Very talented player. Condolences to all his family and friends. R.I.P. Peter Whittingham.
