90’s. The person on the right in this picture scored a famous hat trick against West Brom during this decade, who is he and, for a bonus which will enable you to act very conceited over the weekend, can you name the country he represented?

00’s. This defender was a regular in the West Brom team for much of this decade and often played against City during that time – can you name him and also do you know the sport he received a fifteen year ban from in 2013?
