‘Mass hysteria’, ‘Fantastic’ – West Brom Super Fans pick out favourite Chris Brunt moments
This is part of a regular series from our panel of West Brom Super Fans. Each week, our Super Fans will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around The Hawthorns.
–––––––––––––––––
West Brom have confirmed that at the end of the season, club legend Chris Brunt will leave The Hawthorns.
Albion announced the heartbreaking news on Thursday with a club statement saying that Brunt, 35, will not be renewing his contract at the end of the season.
Brunt’s deal was due to expire at the end of June but based on everything that has been said, he will continue to be available for Slaven Bilic until the Championship season reaches a conclusion.
It remains to be seen what role Brunt can play in the final nine league games but the ex-Northern Ireland international has played just five times in the Championship this term, with all those appearances being as a substitute.
Although his exit was widely expected, our panel of West Brom Super Fans are gutted to see Brunt head towards the exit after 13 years and over 400 appearances.
Here is what they had to say about Brunt as they paid tribute to the midfielder by reminiscing about their favourite moments involving him:

Brunt’s goals against Southampton and QPR were special. Imagine if he is able to somehow score the promotion-winning goal this season as well?
It is horrible that we won’t ever see Brunt play for West Brom again in the flesh but hopefully, once fans are allowed back in The Hawthorns, the club can host a testimonial for the set-piece specialist.
