On Thursday, the BBC confirmed that Cardiff City legend Peter Whittingham had died in hospital more than a week after suffering a head injury following a fall at a pub in Barry, Wales.
Whittingham, who was 35 at the time of his death, began his professional career at Aston Villa before joining Cardiff in 2007, making more than 450 appearances for the club and reaching the 2008 FA Cup and 2012 League Cup finals.
The former England youth international ended his career at Blackburn Rovers, but is most closely affiliated with the Bluebirds, who released an emotional statement following his passing.
"We are heartbroken. The news of Peter's sudden and untimely passing has shaken us to our very foundation," the statement read.

"Our love goes out to his wife Amanda, their young son, and family. They are at the forefront of our thoughts and, on their behalf, we ask for their privacy to be respected at this unfathomably cruel and difficult time.
"First and foremost, Peter was a family man – and somebody who could light up a room with his sense of humour, warmth and personality. Then, as a professional footballer – as a Bluebird – he excelled with talent, ease, grace and humility. Nobody did it better.
"The loss of Peter will be painfully felt by our city, supporters and indeed all who ever had the pleasure of knowing him. We love you Pete, and your memory will eternally stay with us."
