Aston Villa to play Cardiff City in memorial match for Peter Whittingham who died aged 35

Aston Villa will play Cardiff City in a friendly fixture to remember the late Peter Whittingham, who played for both clubs during his career.

The Peter Whittingham Memorial Match will take place at Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday, November 30 (7.30pm kick-off), on an evening where the PW7 Foundation, established in Peter’s memory, will be formally launched. Peter died on 7 March 2020 at the age of just 35. He suffered a traumatic head injury at the Park Hotel pub in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan and died in hospital 11 days later after failing to regain consciousness.

He started his playing career at Villa Park and was part of the side that won the FA Youth Cup in 2002 before going on to make over 400 appearances during a decade of service with Cardiff.
