Danny Gabbidon

Danny Gabbidon began his career at West Bromwich Albion before joining Cardiff City in September 2000. He quickly established himself as a mainstay at Ninian Park and made his Wales debut in March 2002.

He made 217 appearances for the Bluebirds before leaving in July to join Barclays Premiership new-boys West Ham United alongside team-mate James Collins.

His first season proved to be a huge success as he became a regular in the West Ham side, playing thirty-nine games.

This stat fell to 22 in 2006/07 thanks mostly to injury. However, he still managed 22 games and remained an important utility man in 2007/08.
