For the big goals he's scored and the fact he's our PL record goal scorer and born and bread local lad and villa fan he gets legend status IMHO.
Cult hero more than legend is probably more accurate for me.
I'm perplexed how Gabby is still even here. He's probably survived half a dozen managers despite having a woeful goals return.

Or the equivalent in the 1920s.Yeah, he's the worst one in our top twenty all-time goal scorers (and played, mostly as a winger, for five years in a worse team than any of them except Hately). Carry on with the abuse folks, he deserves it, the thick c***.[/quoteQuote from: in exile on September 04, 2015, 01:02:17 PMQuote from: PeterWithesShin on September 03, 2015, 08:45:43 PMMost telling statistic is that the only player with a worse ratio in those lists is Dickie York, who spent his career as a winger.

That does not confer legendary status but it might be nice to recognise that he is now in a difficult position because his performances are waning. I have no wish to see Gabby thrown out of the club he loves so maybe time to think more strategically and help him get a few badges to ensure a place in the club. I am saddened by the apparent wish of some to basically kick him out
