An easy 9 for me. He was more than the sum of his parts, he was a leader and a genuinely great man who just got us and never stopped fighting our corner in the media.
The impact of those goals he scored when he came in can't be overstated either, his arrival and performances were vital and potentially saved us from a very different future.
Love you Super Kev.

9 for me... Remember when we were linked with him and was outraged. Couldn't understand how the club thought this guy would somehow keep us up.
Clearly I was wonderfully wrong. Those goals were everything to us staying up, and he was pretty good after that too even if not scoring as often.
Great leader on the pitch and seemed to be a great guy off it too.

Initial impact was a 10 that first part season. Continued to be very good although obviously not that level of spectacular for a long time and was an absolute gem even after retirement. Has to be an 8.
Got a good mate who is an Albion fan who loves him as well. He was part of that side that scrambled and stayed up having been bottom at Xmas. He signed for them in the January.
Can't think of a bloke more universally popular at such a range of clubs.

In a world full of adversity, we must still dare to dream.
