Only one member of the team – current captain Lewis Dunk – was chosen by everyone who was polled, although Bruno (92%) and striker Glenn Murray (87%) were also extremely popular choices.

Goalkeeper Maty Ryan (62%) is one four members of the current squad who were selected with Shane Duffy (47%) alongside Dunk, Bruno at right-back (92%) and Wayne Bridge at left-back. The former England player spent the 2012/13 season on loan with the club from Manchester City and made more than 40 appearances. He was a popular choice with 72% of the votes.

Alongside Stephens in central midfield is Liam Bridcutt while Vicente and Anthony Knockaert, with 69% and 67% respectively, were popular choices on the wings. 

Zamora was a prolific scorer for Albion at the start of the century but he made a nostalgic return to the club for the 2015/16 season when he scored seven times in the Championship. He picked up 49% of the votes.

The rest of the squad, who all received votes, was: David Stockdale (31%), Davy Propper (28%), Ashley Barnes (26%), Leo Ulloa (26%), Gordon Greer (23%), Matthew Upson (23%), Pascal Gross (21%), Inigo Calderon (18%), Steve Sidwell (18%), Andrew Crofts (15%), Elliott Bennett (13%), Aaron Mooy (13%), Will Buckley (10%) and David Lopez (10%).
