Cardiff City Football Club has been deeply shocked and saddened at the passing of our former defender, Chris Barker.
Chris was an extremely popular player both on and off the field, serving the club with distinction between 2002 and 2007. He was awarded the Cardiff City FC Player of the Season award for his efforts during our 2004/05 campaign.
We offer our deepest condolences to Chris’ family, friends, former team-mates and colleagues. He will be greatly missed by us all.
Details of a Club tribute to Chris will follow in the coming days. On behalf of Chris’ family, we’d ask for them to be afforded privacy at this very difficult time.
