Former Cardiff City and Aston Villa midfielder Peter Whittingham is in hospital with head injuries.
The ex-England Under-21 international suffered the injuries after an "accidental" fall in a pub in Barry.
He joined Cardiff for £350,000 in 2007 and established himself as a club legend with 459 appearances and 98 goals before leaving in 2017.
Whittingham then moved to Blackburn Rovers, before leaving a year later.
But it is with Cardiff the stylish left-footed playmaker is most closely associated.
In his 13 years with the club, they reached the 2008 FA Cup final, 2012 League Cup final and won promotion to the Premier League in 2013.
Whittingham was a huge fans' favourite at Cardiff, scoring numerous spectacular long-range goals which helped earn him a place in the EFL's team of the decade for 2005-2015.
