You can understand Gabby being pissed off for the last couple of seasons, he loves the club and none of us have enjoyed it much in recent years.

His direct running is his biggest asset.  It moves defenders, Gabby running down or cutting in off the wing is an impressive sight, and one that the opposition tend to take notice off.  He creates spaces in the middle for others.  When motivated he leaves nothing on the pitch.  His experience can't be underestimated either.

Dublin was on MOTD and he said he doesn't score many headders, I can remember a few good ones including the one against the Blues at the sty

Or even the two against the Blues at the Sty.

The one he powered in from Carew's knock-down/headed pass was even better. Best footage I could find:

I think Gabby is only one goal off equaling Dwight Yorke's goal scoring club record since football began. The winner against Liverpool wouldn't be a bad time to score it.

The bloke in the white cap had trouble standing up. No drink before the game causes that you know. ;)
And being locked inside the ground for fucking ages after was nice. Shithole.

Thats the one i like. Carew came on as a sub late on and changed the game. The blues players were crapping it playing against him.

As much as I have become disappointed with Gabby's goal scoring record, and being played wide for the last couple of years, he has given me some of the best moments over the last decade that I'll never forget.

Gabby headed a vital winner at Westham the season before last. We were desperate for points to pull away from the drop then.

That more or less secured our safety if I'm right.

I loved that goal. It actually made me sick. I was watching in the pub, I couldn't handle my nerves, or my drink, so I had to puke in the urinal.
