Re: David Gabriel
I did a quick google of the opening game at Imperial Fields against Chelsea which doubled as a testimonial for him. He was 39 then (in 2002) so a tragically early demise.
A fan's favourite, he sealed his place in Tooting's history by scoring a late winner against Thame to save us from the drop in 1996.

Re: David Gabriel
Very sad news. One of the players who was there when I first started following the Terrors.
He gave me one of my most fondest early Tooting memories with THAT goal against Thame United which kept us up on the last day of the season.
RIP David Gabriel

Re: David Gabriel
From Dave Irons (one day he'll work out how to use this forum) :-
Gutted to hear the sad news that David Gabriel had passed away, a top bloke, liked by all the fans and often staying behind after the game at Sandy Lane to have a drink and chat to the supporters.
Scored one of the most vital goals in Tooting's history to keep us up in the mid 90's. Always had a smile on his face and was at a mini re-union with a few other old faces a few months ago at Imperial Fields. Top Man, Top Player.
