On January 11th Peter Whittingham will have been at Cardiff City for ten years. The midfielder has started 358 league games since his moving from Aston Villa as a 22 year old in 2007.
Whitts has delivered with goals as well scoring 81 in the league. He also started an FA Cup and a League Cup final for the Bluebirds as well.
Hard not to call him a club legend.
Neil Warnock is now preparing to offer Whitts a new deal.
"Financially it might be a little bit different but I think as you get older you have to accept things like that," said Warnock.
"You can't be on the money you are on when your are in your prime."
Warnock added: "But I am sure there will be a contract for him."
Warnock believes he is a "one-off" and has "five or six years" left in his career.
"He looks after himself, whether he can stay at the Championship level for five years, it's very difficult," said the Cardiff manager.
"At the moment to get him week in, week out in the Championship is very difficult for me, but he has a big part to play.
"So it depends how long he wants to play, whether he wants to finish his career at Cardiff or whether he wants to play elsewhere.
"What he has got, nobody else at the club has: he's got a mind, a vision, a brain that's twice as quick as anybody else.
"When a ball comes to him I am thinking 'get rid of it,' he sees things that are impossible for anybody else to see. He makes it look so cool.
"I remember I used to think Bobby Charlton used to cheat, because he never ran about. Later on I realised he was that good he did not have to run about, he used his brain. That's what Peter does."
