One of my favourite players. Named my fantasy football team King Kayal for years, wish I could have had him playing once we hit the big league. Best of luck to him.

Farewell to the King. Injuries came at exactly the wrong time, but a great player.

That injury in the Atletico friendly basically finished KK's Albion career. He was fabulous in the first half and looked about the only Albion player who could compete footballing wise with Griezmann etc. Also think that Stephens was an even better player next to Kayal.

Bit like Dunk & Duffey and AK& Bruno, their partnerships made them better players because there was some sort of telepathy going on...

Often wondered how different it would have worked out for King Kayal if he hadn’t got injured in the friendly against Athletico

Top man, best of luck to him. One of the greats in our battle to get to the Premier League.

Loved watching Kayal play, gave 100% every game. Battler in midfield and was one of only a few players, who would be direct with the ball and drive forward.

Only thing I won’t miss is my phone always autocorrecting to Kayak when messaging my mate that he should play ahead of Stephens .

Wonderful player.

Scored one of his debut if i remember correctly.
His battle against, the cheating scum, Barton was majestic.

I always liked Kayal, he had a very positive attitude always and when he was needed, he did us proud! Good luck for the future Mr. Kayal.

Loved the King.

As well as his play, I also respected his and Tomer’s willingness to go public about their mutual friendship. Classy from them both.

So long, Beram, and thanks for the memories.

It's weird, I remember him coming on and immediately getting involved very physically. Impressed me straight away. Had completely forgotten that he scored though.

Great player, will be forever remembered for his part in THAT team. Cheers Beram.

Simply a sublime player for us in every respect, always gave 100% for the club, never moaned and a crucial part of the promotion team.

Legend, thank you and good luck for the future to you and your family...

Extremely reliable. Always followed instructions to the letter.

If asked to man mark someone he did it.

If asked to get forward and support the attack he did it.

If asked to sit in front of the defence and not deviate from that role he did it.

If asked to have a pop at goal. Make sure there was someone in the car park to pick up the ball ��

I jest of course in the last bit. Apparently he was always really reliable when asked to play the less glamorous roles for the team and he did them well.

Remember being excited when we signed him after the awfulness of the Hyppia management and thinking the club might finally be turning a corner and bringing in some decent quality, and what a player he turned into for us. One of my favourite players during his time here and probably our most successful midfield signing of the last 5 years.

Brilliant player.
Really enjoyed watching him play
A great balance of tackling,sheilding the ball and then re -distribution with a tough, battling attitude.magnificent.
Thanks for getting us up Beram and thanks for getting us to Wembley you should have played in that game and if you had I'm sure we would have won it.
Thanks for the memories Beram.goodbye.
