Former winger Zoltan Gera had a fantastic two spells with West Brom that made the former Hungarian international a fan favourite at the Hawthorns, and on social media, Baggies supporters overwhelmingly saw the now-retired attacker as the club’s best right-sided winger for this decade.
Here’s what West Brom fans had to say about Gera on Twitter, with lots of supporters easily claiming that the Hungarian deserves a spot in the Team of the Decade…
