I had no idea there would be a presentation for Gabby until my Bruv told me on the way to the game at which I laughed in a WTF kind of way.  Legend, maybe, only if you view him with claret and blue spectacles,  one lens filtered through "scored some important goals against Small Heath" the other filtered through "he's one of our own".   I don't posess such mindbending goggles , so,  legend my arse.  At best a 1 goal in 4 1 good game in 7 or 8 striker even in a side doing well.  At worst a lazy good for nothing waster.  Needless to say I didn't go out of my way to witness the presentation, just glad I'll never see him in a Villa shirt again.

The presentation was suitably low key and Gabby didn’t milk the occasion. He gained back a little respect from me yesterday

If you knew that all the twats were already on the boards of the football clubs you could say everybody knows what a waste of money he would be.  However there are always people with zillions more money than sense buying their way into "soccer". (see file Stadium, Wembley, purchase of).  Gabby would be a marquee signing for some new generation Randy Lerner.

I've just watched the video.

Fantastic memories of some of my most joyous recent times watching the Villa, moments of pure ecstasy, feelings that I never wanted to end, and there should, could, have been many more.

Yup, some fantastic times..

You watch some of those goals again and you think wow what a player......then you remember the last 5 or 6 years and what a waste and he only has himself to blame. Could and should have been a legend, but nowhere near a Brian Little, Gordon Cowans, Mellberg, McGrath etc - sadly, and I thank him for some happy memories, he threw it away.

His lack of professionalism is respect of his weight gain and lack of fitness will diminish his potential income over the next few years to the tune of a few £million I would guess - he appears to have wasted what most on here would have dreamed of as a kid

Vassell’s career stats ate very similar to gabby’s, but a better England record.

Are we honouring Ross McCormack before the next home game? Or Micah?
