Timeline

1979

Daniel Leon Gabbidon (born 8 August 1979) is a Welsh former professional footballer who played as a defender.

He played for West Bromwich Albion, Cardiff City (two spells), West Ham United, Queens Park Rangers, Crystal Palace, and Panteg.

He also played for the Wales national team.

1996

Born in Cwmbran, Wales, Gabbidon began his career at West Bromwich Albion, joining as an apprentice in November 1996 before turning professional in July 1998.

1999

He made his Albion début in a 1–0 home defeat against Ipswich Town on 20 March 1999 and, utilised as a right-back, he went on to make 27 appearances for West Brom in all competitions.

Following the appointment of Gary Megson as manager towards the end of the 1999–2000 season, Gabbidon failed to keep his place in the team.

Megson switched to a 5-3-2 formation, signing Des Lyttle to fill the right-wingback position.

2000

Gabbidon joined Cardiff City on a one-month loan at the start of the 2000–01 season.

Gabbidon signed a permanent four-year deal with Cardiff City in September 2000, for a fee of up to £500,000 depending on appearances and future honours.

2001

His performances in the 2001–02 season helped Cardiff to the Division 2 play-offs, saw him make his senior international debut for Wales in March 2002 and win the Welsh clubman of the year award in October 2002.

2002

He signed an extension to his contract in April 2002, saying that it was the prospect of exciting times ahead that had persuaded him to do so.

A back injury that had troubled him for some years, forced him off the pitch during a match against Barnsley in November 2002 and it was not until April 2003 that he returned to competitive action in a reserve game.

2003

He returned to the first-team in time to help Cardiff win promotion to Division 1 through the play-offs in May 2003.

He missed several games at the beginning of the 2003–04 season with a heel injury but his assured performances at centre-half, and those of striker Robert Earnshaw, led club chairman, Sam Hammam, to insist in December 2003 that "Our top young players are going nowhere" in the January 2004 transfer window.

2004

Gabbidon went on to earn a place in the First Division team of the year in April 2004.

Despite speculation during 2004 that Gabbidon might leave Cardiff City, Gabbidon signed an extension to his contract in September 2004, tying him to the club until 2008.

Cardiff were prepared to offer him "...the most lucrative contract ever offered to a Cardiff player", with club owner, Sam Hammam, saying, "I want to make Danny Gabbidon a cornerstone of Cardiff City FC, I see him as the absolute future of this football club personified." The 2004–05 season saw Cardiff embroiled in a relegation battle in the first half of the season, something to which Gabbidon was unaccustomed.

2005

An unbeaten run in January 2005 however saw Cardiff lift themselves five points clear of the Championship relegation zone and Gabbidon named the Championship's player of the month.

A financial crisis at Cardiff at the end of the season led to Gabbidon being unsure of his future at the club and he was sold to West Ham United in July 2005 to help cut the wage bill.

Gabbidon moved to West Ham in July 2005, as part of a deal that also took fellow defender James Collins to Upton Park.

His performances for his country during the year won him the Welsh Footballer of the Year award in October 2005.

He established himself in central defence alongside Anton Ferdinand and helped West Ham to a mid-table position in the Premier League in the 2005–06 season and to the FA Cup final in May 2006, receiving a runners-up medal.

After his performances in the 2005–06 season, he was voted 'Hammer of the Year' with Marlon Harewood named as runner-up.

2006

Gabbidon had been ever-present as West Ham struggled against relegation in the 2006–07 season, when he suffered a torn hamstring in November 2006, which sidelined him for a month.

2007

Groin injuries required surgery in January 2007 and again in April, ruling him out for the rest for the season.

West Ham started the 2007–08 season with Anton Ferdinand and Matthew Upson in the centre of defence with Gabbidon as substitute.

He signed a two-year extension to his contract in August 2007, saying, "I am disappointed not to be in the side but at least the new contracts show that the club wants both me and James [Collins] around. We will both now work hard and fight to prove we are worthy of a place in the side." Injuries meant Gabbidon played no football for West Ham from December 2007 until August 2009 when he made his return in the League Cup game against Millwall.

Gabbidon is one of a number of Premier League players that use Twitter to communicate with fans.

2009

On 4 July 2009, he played in the first ever game at the Cardiff City Stadium, an all-stars match.

2011

In May 2011 he was fined £6,000 by the Football Association for comments he made on Twitter in April 2011 after West Ham's 2–1 home defeat by Aston Villa.

He admitted a charge of improper conduct over the tweet;-

"U know what, f*** the lot of you, u will never get another tweet from me again, you just don't get it do you. Bye bye".

Gabbidon was released by West Ham in June 2011.

On 24 July 2011, Gabbidon signed a one-year contract with Queens Park Rangers (QPR) after impressing on trial with the club.

He made his début on 13 August 2011, scoring an own goal in the 4–0 loss to Bolton Wanderers.

Gabbidon rarely played under new manager Mark Hughes and he was released at the end of the 2011–12 season.

2012

On 17 January 2012, Gabbidon scored his first first-team goal since March 2005, a header from a corner in QPR's 1–0 FA Cup third round replay tie win against Milton Keynes Dons.

It was his only goal for QPR as following the sacking of manager Neil Warnock.

On 18 September 2012, Gabbidon signed for Crystal Palace.

He did not make his debut until 15 December 2012 coming on in the 77th minute for André Moritz in a 2–2 away draw with Birmingham City.
