Profile |
Liked by fans for his friendly approach. Gibbo made the leftback position his own after the injury to Ijah last season. He was about to sign for Brentford for £100,000 after Brentford won promotion from the 3rd Division, but his final game for Plymouth saw him break a leg and he feared his career was all but over. Gibbo worked hard to get fit, and Brentford signed him on a Bosman last summer. His injury has taken away his pace and this has probably effected his playing style – he can no longer get up and down the pitch like he used too. Gibbs is better attacking – like Jay Lovett and will probably find it hard to be a regular this season. He does specialise at set pieces and this may work in his favour come next season. Trandy You can't help but like and have admiration for Gibbo. If everyone possessed the same sort of commitment and will to win as Paul then you wouldn't have too much to complain about. Hasn't quite reached the levels I expected though, but refuses too hide. It's little wonder then why every former club speaks so highly of him. Also a top bloke off the field. Richard Hester |
