Absolute bargain.

The word "legend" is used too frequently nowadays but it's the only word that's big enough to describe the great man.

If I remember rightly it took him a little while to become a regular starter but when he did ....wow.

An absolute privilege to watch him play for Cardiff. Some of the goals he scored were unbelievable.

A lovely man too who's sadly missed.

The greatest Bluebird I have seen in my time watching us since 1970 onwards. Scored the best goal ever at CCS against Barnsley and so humble. A true legend :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Its not a statement - it says the greatest Bluebird "I have seen", so I'm not speaking for anyone who may well have a different opinion to me... But to continue the discussion, can you name a player who you think has had more influence in that time?

Earnie’a goals were very important in two promotions.

Can’t think of anyone else since I’ve been watching.

Yes agree Earnie is a good shout, but I'd go with Whitts as a goal creator as well as having a very decent goal record for a midfielder.

Obviously plenty to choose from and most will have their own favourite for different reason I would say someone who was Cardiff through and through like phil dwyer....of an outsider lethal lynex :occasion5:

Still gutted about Whitts.

Such an intelligent,quality footballer.
An integral part of everything that was good about us for many years.
A real class act.

R.I.P Whitts

He does what he wants!

I loved watching him play. That left foot was special.

Show me a better highlights reel of goals, by any Cardiff City player...

Great OT on a legend of a player who’s no longer with us and imo it shouldn’t turn into a ‘greatest player’ thread. Surely that can be done on another.
