I still can't believe Fabio Borini only played 12 games for us. It honestly felt like he was here for years with the impact he made!

6 goals, 4 assists, that absolute peach of a free-kick against Norwich, and winning the crucial penalty at Wembley he played such a huge part in getting us to the Premier League. I was so gutted when he didn't stay on for our first season up top—I reckon his career would’ve hit a whole different level if he’d stuck around in South Wales.

Now that he’s officially hanging up his boots, it’s got me feeling proper nostalgic.

For me, winning that second penalty at Wembley was peak Borini just total calm when everyone’s nerves were completely shot. What’s the first Fabio moment that pops into your head?
