West Bromwich Albion fans have got an awful lot of time for Romaine Sawyers. The midfielder has enjoyed a successful debut campaign at The Hawthorns after signing from Brentford last summer (BBC), and his effort in the Baggies’ ‘Getting Shirty’ was fantastic.

The in-club game that West Brom do on their socials is all a bit of fun and it involves sitting down a first-team player and getting them to name as many football kits as they possibly can within 30 seconds, and it’s fair to say that Sawyers absolutely smashed it.
Sawyers became the 7th player to take the challenge on, and he nailed it, pulling a score of 24 out of the bag, putting him comfortably top of the table, eclipsing Semi Ajayi who previously held the top spot with 19, now it’s over to the rest of the squad to try and top Sawyers’ kit knowledge.

The Baggies clearly love Sawyers, and seeing him smash this challenge has only increased the fans respect for the midfielder.
