    Bloody hell. What a year it's been for Cardiff. Absolutely awful.

    Keith Gillespie confirming it's true on Twitter. Always a threat when he played
    against the Reds. RIP Peter.

    So very easy to happen, even for someone young and relatively fit. Just before I left Donny to come
    over to Wakefield, I went for a night out with some of my mates to the Bay Horse in Hatfield and had
    a pint with a lad who I had grown up with in our village.

    His wife had just had a baby and so after a couple of pints, he left to return home to
    help her to bathe their newborn.

    One of the lads phoned me the following morning to tell me, that unfortunately, my mate had tripped
    on his way down the stairs carrying the babies towels and had broken his neck and unfortunately at the age
    of thirty five, he had died. Such a tragedy for something like that to happen to a really top lad.

    He has relations at Wath - or at least used to at one bit.

    Terrible news if true but I can't find anything official. Has it been confirmed?

    Peter Whittingham was a excellent midfielder, a pleasure to watch, who always seemed to give his best for whoever he was playing for. Very sad if true.

    There was a story that a teacher at Foulstone was killed that way running down the long corridor and hit the ceiling on the stairs - possibly back in the 50s or 60s.

    Got the Football League goal of the year in the 2010-11 season for that beauty against us.

    Cardiff City have just announced that he has died.

    Terrible news. What a player he was - one of those whom you always wished was on your side.
