More memorable for having every vowel in his name, than for having any discernible footballing talent.

No one is going to get that without Googling. I can't remember/never heard of the bloke and I was doing pretty much every game home and away when he supposedly played for us.Just for fun, and with no Googling: have a guess!

OMG, I did too - he went on to have exactly the sort career you'd expect after he was shit in his loan spell with us!
What kind of middle name, is 'Delpesh'!?
(I hope this clue hasn't given it away, for anyone still guessing)

Jonny Dixon?
SPOILER BELOW...
Chat GPT says "JJ Gabriel is the son of Joe O'Cearuill, a retired professional footballer.
Joe O'Cearuill played as a defender and had a brief stint with Arsenal in 2006. However, there is no publicly available information indicating that Joe O'Cearuill played for Brighton & Hove Albion. Therefore, JJ Gabriel is not related to any current or former Brighton player."
Accurate I guess!

Nope.Jürgen Locadia
This sounds VERY unhealthy.
Gabriel’s career to date has been managed to the letter by his family with superstardom in mind. His dad, XXXXXXXXXXX, made the decision to change the family’s surname to Gabriel as it is viewed as a nod to the family’s religious beliefs as well as offering the United starlet a more brandable name.
The decision was also made to home school Gabriel so as to maximise his football, while he follows a very strict diet to enhance performance. He is, to all intents and purposes, already operating as a top professional, and made his England Under 15s debut last month.

Thankfully for us there is also Wikipedia, which informs me Big Joe played a massive 8 (eight) matches for the Albion. In which, if I recall correctly, he was terrible in.....ooooh....about eight of them.

Played for us 10 times, we won 1 of those 10 games. While looking at his team mates I was reminded of another crap loan signing we had at the same time in Nick Ward from QPR (although he did actually score for us).

At one point we had two players on loan from Arsenal. Was J O’C one of them, or maybe Sidwell and Barrett?

Joe (now we all know) was one of a sorry list of very bad players the Albion signed from Arsenal back in the old days. Hopefully we've learned the lesson.

I will forgive them Paul Dickov, Mark Flatts and Steve Sidwell. I will never forgive them for Graham Barrett.
