Jabo Ibehre (born January 28, 1983 in Islington, England) is a football (soccer) striker who formerly played for Leyton Orient F.C. in the English third division, Football League One. Ibehre signed for Orient in March 2000, having previously been a trainee at the club. Ibehre has since made over 100 appearances for the club, making his 99th start on February 11, 2006. Ibehre scored 30 goals whilst with the club. On the 6th May 2008 he was released by Leyton Orient F.C.
In August 2006, Brighton & Hove Albion and Wycombe Wanderers both offered £100,000 for Ibehre's services, and although Orient accepted the bid, Ibehre decided to stay at the club. Ibehre found it difficult to sustain a place in the Leyton Orient line-up in the 2006/07 season, especially with the loan signings of Ryan Jarvis and James Walker.
In October 2007, he became the player to have started the most amount of matches from the bench in Orient colour's in a 5-0 home defeat to Swansea City, the first home 5-0 home defeat in the league since the Second World War.
The young explosive striker was also considered a fans favorite, chants of 'JABO JABO' normally occurred as he merely warmed-up on the touchline.
He scored his last goal for Orient in a 3-1 win against Bristol Rovers on the 3rd of May 2008 which was consequently his last game for the club. He left Orient, having scored 41 goals in 242 appearances in all competitions for the club.
There have been unconfirmed reports of a pursuit by Valencia CF.

It is thought Jabo is fleeing from the English tabloids, after it was revealed in a gossip column that he was caught up in a sorded sex scandal with Barry Hearn, who had paid him several pounds to strip to the Soundtrack of The Karate Kid part 2, Hearn's favourite film. It is said that Jabo was persued by Hearn after learning of his extremely large penis size. Infact the New Zealand badmington side ahs even honoured Jabo by nicknaming themseleves the big Black Coqs.
