Jimmy Gabriel RIP

[Richard Alex]

Some fantastic pictures, memories and quotes.
Remember my grandfather telling me about Jimmy when he played for Dundee. Telling me what a great kid and player he was. All my fathers side of the family were from there.
What a great ambassador for our club he was.
RIP Jimmy

Rip Jimmy and condolences to his family.

Never had the pleasure of seeing him myself, but my grandad told me all about how good he was, and scared of nobody.

Thanks for being a blue Jimmy.

My first match , my first goal Jimmy Gabriel penalty , Park End , I was sitting bang in the middle .
R.I.P. Jimmy .

My first game 5-0 v Blackpool and Gabriel ran the midfield and scored. Class player,style with steel. Oh for a player like him in our side now.

I also recall for a few games Harry tried him out as a No.9.

What an absolute blinder of a photo! My god some legends on show there!

Front right on photo is not Alex Scott, it is Mickey Lill our right winger. The lovely photo shows our British
players in strength English, Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh. Ten years previous our squad was mainly
made up of Southern Irish lads Donovan, Meagan, Farrell, Eglington & Jimmy O'Neill to name a few. Sorry to
be so pedantic on Gabbys day.

So sad to hear this. I had no idea he was 80. He seems to live in the memory as he appeared during those wonderful Everton years. Truly one of our greatest players. RIP. Jimmy.
