He should have fond memories of our club, as we developed him into the footballer he became. It's a strange one.

He doesn’t dislike Cardiff...

It isn’t just against us. It’s his game, it’s the type of player he is.

He is the consummate proffesional, gives his all for Club and Country and is a decent player, plus whatever anybody says on here he is Bluebird through and through.

I believe it almost happened but we opted for Bacuna instead.

I'm surprised at that.
His behaviour towards the Cardiff fans in the Ninian stand during a game a few seasons ago playing for Forest was worse than I have seen from the likes of Tate, Monk, Trundle, etc. He directly celebrated a goal for Forest fist pumping towards the City fans on his own, you certainly wouldn't have guessed he was a Cardiff fan.
I've always thought that his behaviour that day was strange, given that he was likely to playing at the same ground in front of the same supporters for Wales shortly after.
Shame, because up until then I always rated him and would have welcomed him back but I'm not sure that anyone in the Ninian Stand that day would have him down as a "Cardiff boy".

Gunter and his brother Marc has always been Cardiff supporters, he was our youngest Welsh International when first capped and is now the most capped Welsh International. We had 4m from Spurs for Gunter and he has had two 2m+ transfers to Forest and Reading. He has played almost 500 league games mostly in the Championship (25 in Premier) and some on here reckon Super Kev who we never had a decent offer for was a better Player!

He used to watch us home and away, he used to go on the supporters club coaches. He is a Cardiff fan, however, you also have to remember he's only human.
I don't think he ever asked to leave but for some reason some of our fans who didn't know his history turned on him and gave his dogs abuse, he gave some back with interest, to be honest, I don't blame him, was probably a mixture of hurt and emotion on the day and it got the better of him.
