Not that he was ever here.

The greatest Charlton non-legend ever.

Medders

AFKABartram

If it wasn't our club, this would of been one of the most hilarious sagas ever.

WSS

Thommo

Gibbs will live long in folklore alongside fellow greats Rowett, Barbe and Bagheri.

I feel for the bloke.

i think we should retire it tbh

Oggy Red

As far as injuries are concerned, poor old Cory was the Jonah of the squad.
I don't think any player would dare risk having Cory's number.......

Good luck to him...

Can-addick

I agree...I don't know the first thing about the poor guy (for obvious reasons!), but can't help but feel sad that things haven't worked out for him at the club, especially given that I wasn't aware that he was 28...thought he was much younger. This is his livelihood that we are posting about...

I think him and Sorondo were signed inbetween managers viz. Curbishley and Dowie, although given their injury records it looked like a Curbs farewell present. From what I remember Gibbs had just got over a bad knee injury when we picked him up, a bit like Sorondo who had been injured for the best part of his years loan here.

Kap10

I thought Sorondo was with us for Curbs last season. Gibbs was identified by Curbs.

Oggy Red

Gibbs new club ....... West Ham

Reunited with his original admirer.
You heard it here first!

After injuring his knee in a U.S. national team friendly against England on May 28, 2005, Gibbs rehabbed (under the direction of Dr. Daniel Kalbac in Miami, Florida) and came back from his injury on January 19, 2006. On January 24, 2006, Feyenoord loaned Gibbs to ADO Den Haag for the remainder of the season.
