Jimmy Gabriel: Tributes paid to ex-Everton, Southampton and Dundee midfielder

Tributes have been paid to former Everton midfielder Jimmy Gabriel, who has died aged 80.

Gabriel played 303 times for the Toffees, winning a league title and the FA Cup with the club in the 1960s.

The Scotland international started his career with hometown club Dundee and played more than 220 games for Southampton after leaving Everton.

"He always gave his all and is truly one of the club's greats," said Everton chairman Bill Kenwright.

After five seasons with Southampton he went on to play for Bournemouth, Swindon Town and Brentford before moving to the United States in 1979 to play for and then coach Seattle Sounders.
