    He's retiring - thought he was decent for us in that very short stint... had no idea he was as old as he is though!

    I liked big Jabo. He only scored twice but they were against 2 of the 3 teams that went up that year, away at Bristol City and at home to PNE. He took the piss out of Luke Ayling and Aiden Flint at Ashton Gate, easily outmuscled both of them for our goals. Wish we had a forward with that strength now.

    He scored a couple of important goals early on in his stint, but the more he played, the more apparent it became as to why he was a lower league journeyman.

    I think he was 32-33 ish when he played for us. Surprised he hasn't retired sooner :)

    Yes he was mate, 32 I believe - For some reason I always thought he was around 26, 27 when played for us. No idea why!

    One of Lee Johnson's revolving door of loan signings when the season was pretty much dead, easily forgotten.

    Played a few games on loan from Colchester, back end of 14/15 season under LJ, which is probably why you've no recollection ;)

    I'd forgotten about him. Another unremarkable striker we've had at Oakwell...... Sorry..... Grove Street.

    A lot worse mate. At least Jabo was a handful for defenders and put himself about a bit
