Known as 'Dodo' apparently :hmmm:

I love the signing of a random Johnny Foreigner. (For whatever reason) At this level, do they ever really work out?

I'm worried, No sign of gloves, he cant be a proper foreign signing. Also around 12 mins on the 2nd vid, the silly sod has his shirt on inside out :)

I don't know who half of those people are.

You missed out one of our first and best in that list....Jan Aage Fjortoft who signed for us from Rapid Vienna for £500k and who very few Swindon fans had even heard of back then despite him being our most expensive signing at the time.

According to the ever reliable Wiki.....apparently its doody.

De Vita didn't work out????

Nice video....six replays of the same goal.

However.....he looks determined when he plays.....time will tell.

Nor did the managers that signed them...at least Power knows a bit about the murky world of agents.

I like the idea of a contract whereby you can bin the fella if he's crap pdq, but sign him up if he's the new Amr Zaki.

Bin El Gabbas...might be decent, mind.

'At this level' (even though there's one Championship representative in there).

STFC headscarves on sale in the shop soon

Interview with him here

He he, nice city to live, wonder If they blindfolded him and took him to Marlborough?

It's marginal, but if the alternative to living in Swindon is to return to an Egypt on the verge of civil war I can just about see his point. If he gets homesick for all the chaos and strife he can always ask to be taken on a Saturday night out in Swindon. Perhaps a former central defender (now residing in the Bristol area) may care to take him on it?  :D

It's a good marketing opportunity for SBC I would have thought...

"Swindon - Better than a war zone".

Works for me.

He actually reminds me of Kerrouche. That may be just because they are both of Arab extraction but I think there are similarities there playing-wise as well.

Has he raped anyone ?

:noway:

As it happens there are more specific issues of that nature affecting El Gabbas' first club, Al Masri, in Port Said.  Last year 73 people were killed in fighting at a game there against a Cairo team resulting this year in very contentious and allegedly political death sentences made against over 20 people.
