Graham Kavanagh is a true Cardiff City legend. In this special retro edition of The Spotlight on Cardiff City World, Si1927 takes a deep dive into the career of the former Bluebirds captain who dragged City back to the second tier of English football.
From his record signing in 2001 to his unforgettable free-kick against Premier League leaders Leeds United in the FA Cup, to leading the Bluebirds at the Millennium Stadium in the 2003 play-off final, Kav’s story is one of leadership, quality, and moments that live forever in Cardiff City history.
We’ll break down his qualities as a player — from set-piece mastery and tactical intelligence to his presence as a leader in the middle of the park. The “quiet but fiery” Irishman became the heartbeat of the team and remains one of the most beloved midfielders ever to wear the shirt.
