Yet still our record PL too scorer.

Not bad for a fat, lazy forward.
Think that shows more how poor a club we have been in the Premier era rather than how good Gabby ever was.

PL Runners up, top four 3 years running, 2 league cup wins, 2 league cup runners up, 2 fa cup runners up, 10 European campaigns at least, top 6 3 years running ....shocking.

We didn't finish top four three years running but until we got relegated we were something like the fifth or sixth highest points scorers. We've been many things but definitely not consistently poor since 1992.

The point is he was a fast aggressive forward that lacked finesse but was effective and scored some memorable goals.
Then he lost the plot and became a lazy overpaid idiot.

I stand corrected Dave, I was trying to embellish on 4 top 6 finishes 96-00.....

Point is, outside Chelski, Man Ure, Liverrplop, Arse, Man £ity theres
No other club has had a better PL era including cups.

Ok , I'll rephrase ....  It shows how poor weve been as a club since gabby became 1st team regular.
He was poor, 60odd league goals over 13/14 seasons for a forward is piss poor. But he scored against blues.

Yep, he's our top scorer because of longevity, not strike rate, which is considerably worse than Savo, Benteke etc. Totti he ain't.

Let it go, he’s out all time PL scorer, however you try to work out pro-rota.

The season with big Jon will still be legendary, his derby goals and beating Man Ure at mould Trafford will alone live in the memory.

Don’t hate.

There's no hate, just people who don't think he's a legend or wasn't as good as he could have been.

I dont hate.
I just think he's a cnut for the way he mugged us fans & the club off for the last half a dozen yrs of his time here.

Be interesting to see how we wouldve done if the likes of him & Richard's wernt about the club 5 yrs or so ago.

Measured against how much xenophobic, dressing room dividing I'll take Davis every time.

Neither was the service. I think most forwards would have given up given the way we played especially in our relegation season.
Legend? No. On his day, unplayable but needed service and a striking partner as he never had the technical ability to play all season without one.

We can all be disappointed in how it all ended and it clouds our judgement. But find some time to watch some of the goals he scored early on and Gabby had a lot of what makes a top forward. Blistering pace. Could score with both feet. Really very good in the air for someone of his height. Not the best at one on one and something he should have improved but he did have a few of those goals too. As he developed he became stronger and much harder to knock off the ball. He took that too far though and it affected his primary attribute. But he was a really exciting and influential player for us for a number of years and his moment in the sun was in the MON years. You could probably mark his and the clubs decline from the time MON left.

I always thought during those years under MON and was quite often played out wide he worked very very hard for the cause and would put a decent shift in.
