What do we think?
Roberts scored seven goals in his 14 West Brom appearances during the 2001/02 campaign which saw the Baggies earn promotion to England’s top-flight “for the first time since 1985/86”, as reported by The Guardian. Considering that Roberts played a part in helping West Brom to end an extended hiatus from the Premier League back in the 2001/02 season, it may be understandable why some Baggies supporters may hold the former attacker in high regard.
