Announced retirement. Genuinley liked him as a player and always gave 100%. Awful what happened to him at forest green thanks to the human potato that is troy deeney. Will be remembered more for his help of our rise than his penalty miss.

I quite liked fankaty here , i wish him all the best

 

[Captain Dart]

That's the reality for a professional footballer, one injury you can't recover from or that constantly reoccurs or results in susceptibility to further injury and it's over. I hope Fankaty finds a way forward in his life.

 

[torchomatic]

Loved him that season at St Andrew's. Sad news.

 

[skybluecb]

He was best right back in league one, the season we got promoted. Loved his attacking runs.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Real shame seems a genuinely nice guy . Promotion season he was fantastic

 

[Jamesimus]

Prior to his injury he was a joy to watch. Not the most technically proficient, but could be an absolute machine on the right when he got going, a proper athlete.

 

[torchomatic]

He was behind us somewhere at The Valley, but didn't see him. Saw JDS being hassled constantly for photos, etc.

Great servant for the club. Instrumental in our rise from league 1 and survival in the championship.

Injuries ruined his potential, but he never hid.

Hope someone took a box for him to stand on.

 

[SwanLane]

After seeing him score 2 OGs at Oxford, I’d never have believed he’d be such a good player for us. Just goes to show. Best RB in L1 that year and decent in the early days of the champ until the injuries caught up. A reminder that you have to have a bit of luck to make it to ‘veteran’ status.

 

[Paul Anthony]

It's a shame what happened to him, he was absolutely mega during the title season, but then injury seemed to absolutely wipe him out. His legacy here should be how good he was and how important a role he played in that league one title season.

 

[stevefloyd]

Feel sorry for the lad, thats a great write up hes posted good luck in your next job Fankaty

 

[MTK]

He was an integral part of our rise and always will be. Indirectly players like Dabo will have helped us get back to the premier league - please god! Also loved his song. Wishing him all the very best for the future

 

[fatso]

Outstanding player in League 1, and great in the Championship until injuries started to take their toll.

Wish him all the best for the future.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Sizeist

 

[SBT]

A genuinely likeable and talented player in our first title-winning season in decades, who deserves a better legacy than injuries and penalty shootouts will allow him.

I think they were together.

I think he is quite sentimental to the fan base which ends up with things being rewritten a bit. He had a very good first season that we will all remember for the right reasons, but he did seem to regress soon after that. Four seasons in total, of which one was excellent, one was ok, and two were pretty awful. The last couple of seasons he was here, he was really not up to it anymore.

Wish him the best, and hope he has a good future with whatever he decides to do.

I get this, he wasnt the most technically gifted but he didnt half give his all even against superior players. When he got the ball in space in league one he was hitting the byline by hook or by crook

 

[Calista]

He's put out quite a humble and sincere statement there*, in stark contrast to some of the weasel words you get from a lot of modern players. It's never nice to see anyone forced out of the profession through injury, and I hope he finds happiness in whatever comes next.

* hopefully it's not exposed as generic ChatGPT drivel

He got off to a promising start in the Championship to be fair, but the injuries properly fucked him up and there was no coming back from them. Certainly deserved more than to round his career off at the bottom of League 2 anyway.

I don't think anything is being rewritten but I'm pretty sure he played for us when injuries should have prevented him from doing so, which has probably helped lead to his forced retirement. We should also keep that in mind when judging the latter part of his time with us.

 

[nicksar]

I wish Dabo and his family all the best for his and their future, he's a genuinely nice bloke.

 

[Tealeaf]

Any body know what Fankaty Dabo record was for takings penalties? - here's hoping he only missed one.

Would be good as penalty coach for rugby players

Proved you wrong at every point. You tried to get some some of your creatin forum friends involved and you all ended up looking like a bunch of nerds. You lot haven’t had a shag between yous.

Your on here all day as you have no real life, this is it

You insisted we sold out the games , we never did , you were wrong

Now same as before the last time you were wrong , jog on

 

[StrettoBoy]

A great shame. He was one of my favourite players in our league 1 days.

He was only 29 when he was injured; 30 now

Look just because you creep around everyone here it doesn’t mean you are somebody you don’t have have any real friends, this is not real life

I’ve hardly been on here as I’ve been enjoying myself over Xmas getting pissed and having fun with actual live people
