Gareth Barry

Reminds me when I used to play Sunday League. Frank 'Gibbo" Gibson, joined us. As a young bloke he had played to a high amateur level. Must have been in his late forties /early fifties when he joined us. He looked in his sixties though and was rather rotund.
I never saw him move, although he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Dominated the centre circle with timely interceptions and sprayed the ball all over the park. Never saw him break sweat either.
Once you've got it, it never leaves you. I was in awe of the bloke.

We had Jimmy Gabriel doing that for us…

Paul Davis thought he was doing that for us… but he really wasn’t….

Watching Gabriel was a football education. He orchestrated play without moving from the centre circle.
