He was the true definition of a Professional.

I hope he goes on to win some more trophies to add to his collection.

An awesome player who was very loyal for a modern day footballer.

I'll never forget when I met him at Amsterdam Airport in '05. He was so friendly and made my day that day!

Good luck Gilb.
