West Ham captain Upson hails return of fully fit Gabbidon

West Ham United captain Matthew Upson has hailed the return to full fitness of Danny Gabbidon.

For victory over Tottenham, Gabbidon, normally a central defender, filled in at left-back and kept Aaron Lennon quiet down the right while Danish right-back Lars Jacobsen turned in another solid performance for his side.

Gabbidon has been plagued by injury for the past three seasons but Upson said: "When his body is right Danny is brilliant. He has pace for a big man and when Aaron Lennon tried to run him down the line, Danny matched him."
