A legend is a player who cares for the club. A player who achieves individually and as part of a winning team. He's almost there for me. All that's missing is a cup or two.
Thinking on it Gabby would be a Legend even if he was never part of a cup-winning team for me.He has come through some pretty torrid times (the infamous "not being booed when subbed" incident for example) and has produced time and time again - his exploits against Small Heath just add to this...
Gabby is the epitome of a big game player, time and time again he's done it in our biggest games of the season's and now when were in a bit of transition he's been the guy thats lead by example, I wonder if he'll ever captain us? Fair enough he's not the brightest off the pitch but on the pitch he has a decent footballing brain, his name never crops up when were discussing potential captains though.
After Gabby's great display today and his exclellent attitude all season I got to thinking "is he a Villa Legend yet"?This set me off thinking what makes a Legend at this club?God? Superb player up against the odds with a touch of naughtinessSid? Sublime skill; always trying; returned to us and did wellWithey? Iconic centre-forward who gave his all and scored "that goal" (but played down the road!)Tayls? Just one of us (still is) who was honest and tried and tried for the causeWhat makes a Legend for you and is Gabby there yet?
