I have said many times that he and Mozza have been my favourite modern day Albion players, what they have contributed to the club down the years cannot be over estimated.
But this is a new era and we need to rebuild, i am hoping to see a sleek fast West Bromwich Albion rising from the boring defensive one.
But lets not for get Chris's contributions, the match and season defining goals and assists, the dignified way he has performed despite the booing of our knuckledraggers.
Here is a player who has always given his best, who has been played out of positions most weeks but never complained, and never spat at the fans or stuck his fingers up to them like Olsson did. and who fans think a much better person.
I hope the club and the fans thank him in the proper way when the time comes for him to leave.
As clubmen, he and Mozza are second only to Bomber imo.
