is he a pakistani?

 

[the right footed denilson]

no, and he is built like a brick shit house, hes brighton born and bred i believe and his bro is a pro rugby player.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

All the best to him, he's a nice boy. Will have to buy him a drink if he's in the Event this weekend, or now he's a first teamer maybe he should buy me one?

I played football with him at school. I can't believe I'm going to miss this match!!

 

[Juan Albion]

We'd better watch out though. George Dubya is likely to send over a couple of stealth bombers if we play someone with an arabic-type name. Better arm the rocket man.

He's a good player - regular in the reserves and you're right he is built like the proverbial brick shit-house!

Also good to see that Mcghee isn't afraid to change things about or look at the fringe players?

Well I would, if I had any idea at all how to say his name.

Is it Ah - Ber - Der?

A - bud?

Add (with a silent b?)

A-D-A-M... Adam

So El Ab. Thanks Dessie.

"abd" or "abed" in Arabic means "servant, or slave"; it's a common component of Arabic men's names as in Abdullah ("servant of God").

So now you know.

So Virgo has been overlooked again......hmmmmm...methinks he may be on his way?

 

[Martlet]

his brother plays rugby for Bath too....not a bad sporting family!

I think there's another El-Abd in the under 17s team as well, and I'm sure an older one (Joe??) played for the youth team for a while a couple of years back.

Posh Spice Is A Slapper
She likes her ringpiece jabbed
And when she's shagging Beckham
She thinks of Adam El-Abd...

Always raises a smile - the obligatory "Posh Spice is a slapper" song on NSC whenever someone is newly associated with the club.

But then I thought, "has anyone done one for Mark McGhee, because I don't remember it".

I needn't have worried, it's here

 

[Martlet]

Joe's the rugby player - did play in our youth team for a bit too

Plays for Bristol these days I'm told...

Yes. His younger brother Sammy. His older brother is Joe. I think.

El Ab. Although some used to say El Abd. I'm pretty sure it's said, 'El Ab'.
