The former striker made 185 appearances for Sunderland between 1987 and 1991, notching 87 goals. Still remember my cousin Adam's wedding at South Shields Registry Office. 10:30 wedding, back to the house for the reception, kick off at Roker at 3:00 pm (4-0 win over Ipswich, Marco got a hat-trick and then got sent off), back in time for the evening do at The Westoe. Marvellous stuff. Saved us from Div III in the days following the McMenemy horror show...
Marcos thighs were enormous, weren't they mate. ****ing hell he had some power. I remember standing in the clock stand with my Granda and seeing him score a hat-trick against Watford, he was awesome that day.
**** Maradona Marco was the best When the word legend is bandied about with great ease, it falls to lads like Marco to show everyone what a true legend is. He was and remains one of the best players I have seen at the club, not because he was graceful or could pass it 60 yards onto a postage stamp but because he had the heart of a lion and gave everything to the cause. He invented chasing down lost causes and created mayhem in opposition defences. He could hit it like a cannon ball and was braver than a room full of William Wallaces. Marco Gabbiadini. Happy birthday legend.
He was better mate, much much better. My sister lived in Nottingham at the time of Marco and Gatesy's pomp, where she ran a trendy fashion shop called G-Force. I loved going down for the weekend, 'clubbing' and getting free/cheap trendy G-Force gear - had a t-shirt, jeans the lot. Thought I was cool as fcuk, and of course I was.
Ricardo he was called. I've an error cigarette card of Marco's which has a picture of Ricardo on it please log in to view this image
Always loved this saying. A lazt ****, who eats, sleeps and shags, and has a fight when someone wants to bang his missus?
I believe he was signed to keep his brother company and only ever made 1 appearance I can recall. Was nee better a footy player than a few lads down the pub on a sunday morning but if it helped Marco settle he did his job. Cracking ciggy card that and I wonder if it is worth out? Probably more than the player himself if truth be told. Lol
Don't think it's worth much yet. It's certainly worth more than the quid they ask for on ebay as the sellers have no idea it's an Error card. They pop up quite often.
