One great memory was against Blues at home 04/05. Ball was running out of play and Gera chased it, won the corner and I think clement scored. Crucial win to help us stand a chance in staying up

What do we think?
Gera enjoyed two separate spells with West Brom in his career. Having originally joined the Baggies in July 2004 for a transfer fee of £2.03m, Gera made 152 appearances for the club before leaving on a free transfer to join Fulham in the 2008 summer transfer window.
Gera subsequently rejoined West Brom in July 2011, following the end of his time at Fulham, where he would go on to make another 36 appearances for the Baggies before leaving the club to join Hungarian side Ferencvaros in July 2014.
According to Transfermarkt.co.uk, the ex-Baggies midfielder made a total of 188 appearances for West Brom in all competitions throughout his career, scoring 28 goals and making 18 assists for the club. Considering the number of appearances he made for the Baggies during his two separate spells at The Hawthorns, it may be understandable why some West Brom supporters look back fondly on Gera’s time with the club.
