Whittingham, one of the Bluebirds' all-time greats, died from a head injury he suffered after a fall.

Born in Nuneaton, Whittingham started his career at Aston Villa, where he played over 50 league games and represented England Under-21s.

The elegant playmaker joined Cardiff in 2007 and established himself as a club legend with 459 appearances and 98 goals before leaving in 2017.

After his short spell at Blackburn Rovers ended in September 2018, Whittingham returned to live in south Wales - as it was with Cardiff where he felt most at home, on and off the field.

Starting his career on the left wing before moving to the right and then into central midfield, Whittingham compensated for his lack of pace with a magical left foot.
