Gabby - keep or let go

AN2k77 I think Billy Walker scored 10 or 11 goals against them for us

Perhaps Legend Lite then would be more appropriate for all the Derby goals (has any villa player scored more ??)

He's scored 4 goals against Blues, according to Wiki.

Yes, that's how many I recall. The best one has to be the late-winner just after his goal-line clearance up the other end.

Cult hero more than legend is probably more accurate for me.

He is one of us. 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

I feel the same. The Villa life we share involves emotion and loyalty and years as well as analysis, results and business. For me it's a little sad to be so keen to be rid of him.

I will never forget "those" goals at the Sty

Or those at the Hawthorns, or Anfield, Or Molineux, Or Old Trafford, Or Stamford Bridge, Or the Emirates.....

I agree legend is pushing it, but there are few players who we will look back on who have given us as many great moments as he has. He's not consistent, but I still think of those goals he's scored, theres only a handful of teams he's never scored against.

Although it shouldn't matter who scores, are there any of us who were either surprised or not glad when it was Gabby rather anyone else who got the ball rolling against the baggies last year?

Whenever the Villa score a goal I'm too delirious with joy and confusion to care too much about the identity of the scorer.

I wonder what it is that attracts these young women to our millionaire club captain?

[KRS]

Because he's crap at playing hide and seek with their kids?

When he bagged that hat-trick first home game against Man City a few years ago I was convinced he was our 20 goals a season man for the forseeable future, I was horribly wrong.
Having said that he does love a derby!

First name on team sheet, or brought on with half hour to go

If the alleged stories of the players allegiance are to be believed, then when was the last time we had 3 or more Villa fans in the team...Gabby, Jack and Lescott (plus Gardner?). You'd think that can only be a good thing with their desire and determination to win hopefully rubbing off on other players.
