    What a great signing , Gareth was.
    My wolves mates took the mick when we got him, boasting about the money they spent on Roger Johnson.

    He’s 107......he’s earned it!

    After Zolton Gera.....my favourite Albion player of the last 35+ years.

    I’d still take him above Bartley and Hegazi even now if he wants to reconsider.

    Great Albion servant and apparently, a thoroughly nice person.

    Not only a great player but was always 100% committed. I hope he enjoyed playing for us as much as we enjoyed watching him.

    Loved G mac. I loved the way he topped the whole of Europe for clearances from the box with headers that season. I would have loved to see him as captain but you realise that being a captain is more than being a good player,well liked, reading the game well, you need a presence and a Gob on yer. Just too nice to be captain.

    Finally, a thread worth joining.

    What a tremendous player, man and example to others.
    Loved him from the minute he joined us from Ipswich, I marvelled at how the hell he’d been missed by everyone else, what a find.

    As a former Centre Half I could only dream about being like this fella.

    Top man G Mac, thanks for your never say die attitude to the shirt. Always got on with it, never complained once, forever welcome down the shrine.

    I thought he was a shocking signing.
    I was very, very wrong.

    I would say McAuley was one of our most astute signings we made since the likes of Regis and Cunningham and before that, some of the mid-late 60's team. He appeared a journeyman before joining us but I believe he was without doubt one of the best central defenders playing in the PL over his first five seasons as a Baggie. He was so consistent season after season and scored some very important goals. He deserves to be remembered in the highest esteem and I wish him the very best in his new career.
