Leading up Oakley in the 2.10 at Cheltenham today.

You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead.

That’s another fine mess you got me into Stanley

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Happy birthday to one of my favourite players and undoubtedly one of the more interesting footballers. Still only 37.

 

[pompeybee]

Still only 37.

You'd have thought he'd be a year older as it's his birthday.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Depends what time he was born I guess. He always struck me as a PM child. May well be 38 now I suppose.

 

[TW3Bee]

Happy 37th Birthday Tabby.

one of my fav memories when he scored in the last min at Wycombe , he was running into away end as 100's were running the other way on to pitch

One of my favourite injury time winners. I’d love to see some footage of it but there doesn’t seem to be any in existence

I’d walked to Wycombe and me end some fellow walkers could barely move for most of the game. That injury time goal was like a miracle cure as we all went nuts! ?

 

[Nickabee]

Good player 100 per cent effort all the time and one of my favourite chats which I heard when we played Coventry in a stadium 10 times the size of the crowd was “ there’s only half Jay Tabb”

It was. They made such a fuss about it too.

Was excellent scenes in the away end when Tabb scored. I ended up arse over tit over a couple of rows of chairs.

Would love to see him down at Brentford more

Took a mate to this game and he was shocked by how mental I went when Tabby scored! Can’t quite recall the circumstances but for some reason I was super pumped when it went in! ?

 

[Banana]

agreed

[Chorlton Bee]

Came over to me to get a Beesotted before one game on his way into the ground, delighted to give it to him gratis.

Around this time the story came out that he’d sacked his agent, along with the quote “I don’t really need one”

Has he been to the Gtech?

If not this needs to be fixed ASAP. They can replay his solo goal against Barnsley during the Great Escape too.

The Lost Goal?! I doubt it - i believe the footage has been mislaid over the years. Will be very glad to be proved wrong, but I've asked a few times.

That’s such a shame. One of the defining moments of the great escape.

Can always play Luton away.

Great read. Really interesting post-football career.

He was a bright spark in the post-Coppell days where it felt like creative players were at a premium for us

 

[gbems92]

First player I had on the back of my shirt as a kid. Probably because my dad was a tight arse and was paying per character. Loved tabby though

 

[LingfieldBee]

Still in my top 5 Bees player, I was young teenager back then going home and away in that Martin Allen era, dragging mates along to games. As a Bees fan such great memories being a youngster following the club you love everywhere. So Tabb being in that period will always be held highly by me.

Nice piece if a little light... but it says he had one promotion with the bees... we were in league one throughout his time with us, no?

That’s right. We were in the third tier from 1999 until we were relegated again in the disastrous 2006/7 season.

My son’s first shirt too, and his favourite player of that time

I saw that.

Was that because they were about the same size?
