We’ve got Knockaert, Anthony Knockaert.
That will be the boast of Albion fans at the Pirelli Stadium today as they hope for more magic from their French winger.
But two years ago this month, it looked like Paddy McCourt (pictured) could establish that sort of place in the supporters’ affections.
What is now Knockaert’s song used to be reserved for the Northern Irish midfield maverick – but with some different words as fans demanded he get on the pitch.

McCourt certainly ran the show in the League Cup tie at Burton, which remains the clubs’ only meeting until today.
Albion coasted through that night’s third round tie 3-0 and were then drawn away to Spurs in the next stage.
McCourt was already a big favourite with many fans by then and strode imperiously around the neat and tidy little Staffordshire venue.
But boss Sami Hyypia was never totally convinced or trusting of him.
The win at Burton came on the night when it started to look as though he might count a bit more on McCourt.
Hyypia said he was impressed by his defensive efforts on that occasion but added it was a side of the game the player could be prone to overlooking.
The Finn said: “I think that’s maybe why he is in this kind of position in his career. He needs to realise what he needs to do to improve and to be a very important player for the team defensively as well.

“When he is doing that I’m very happy because I know what kind of qualities he has offensively. He is much fitter now and he tried to do his defensive tasks perfectly as well.
“He was running back and that’s what we want him to do as well. When he can do that in the higher level in league games then why not play him?”
It never really happened. McCourt never actually started a league game for the Seagulls and went out on loan to Notts County after his tenth and last appearance as sub, at home to Reading on Boxing Day.
He had a brief reunion with Nathan Jones at Luton last season but is now back in Northern Ireland with Glenavon.
The move home was largely taken because of his wife Laura, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Albion fans have long since moved on from seeing McCourt as the great hope but replays of that cup tie show how he could dribble and deliver a precise ball.
He was at the heart of goals for Rohan Ince and Craig Mackail-Smith, which came other side of a Kazenga LuaLua 25-yarder against Gary Rowett’s League Two pacesetters.
Inigo Calderon was rather unfortunately sent off near the end, pictured above, when he put his foot up dangerously to try and control a bouncing ball and accidentally caught an opponent.
Albion: Stockdale; Calderon, Dunk, Hughes, Chicksen; Ince, McCourt (Toko 70), Gardner; LuaLua (Colunga 78), Mackail-Smith, O’Grady.
