Yes literally just said that on another thread! He is an all time great and one of the best - he has loads more to offer and I can see him playing out his career at the club.
If you're a starter in THIS Albion team, there's a pretty high chance you're an Albion legend whatever your name is. This lot are, as I doubt we've ever had 5 players better than any of them in their in own position:
Dunk
March
Mac Allister
Gross
Veltman
Webster (arguable, but has been a fantastic servant nonetheless)
Will be after another season or so:
Caicedo (if not already)
Mitoma (if not already)
Ferguson
Estupiñan
There are barely any players from our past (excluding the very recent past) that can hold a candle to our current squad.

You'll be better judges of that than me.. but 262 games, national team-class in three positions (LWB, RWB, RW) and now also able to score goals since playing in a front three with a four man backline allows him to preserve energy for vital moments... pretty damn decent. He's been one of the better players for three out of four seasons I've watched the team.
My legends, based on quality and sentiment:
Grummitt
Veltman Dunk Lawrenson Bridge [special dispensation for a loanee]
March Caicedo MacA Gross
Muzza Ward
Subs: Case, Bruno, Stevens, Ryan

Well there was a lot talk on here at the time that the promotion side were all Albion legends so as someone, who along with Dunk, was in that side as well as this record breaking one, I would say he is categorically, 100%, a genuine, bona fide Albion legend.
I think he’s now my all time favourite.

So who do you currently have as legend material? How many players have done as much for the Albion as our Solly?
Nonsense statement.
He's been in our first team for years, was in the promotion winning squad, scored in the FA Cup quarter finals in two separate seasons, he has got better and better with every passing season and this time round is one of the best Englishmen in his position. He belongs in the same conversation as Dunk, Zamora, Murray and Ward.

strong and stable with me, or...
