THE 'Magic Magyar' joined Albion from Ferencvaros in a £1.5million deal in July 2004, fresh from winning the domestic league and cup double with his former club.<\/P>
The Baggies beat off competition from several top European clubs to land the attacking midfielder, who penned a three-year Hawthorns contract, with a further year's option in the club's favour.<\/P>
Gera's last-gasp equaliser at Sunderland in September 2005 provided a brief highlight during a 2005\/06 campaign which became a virtual write-off thanks to a perplexing pelvic problem which refused to go away.<\/P>
The Hungary international was even given permission by the club to fly back to his homeland for treatment by a specialist who had helped him in the past in a bid to solve the injury problem.<\/P>
Following two failed comebacks at Christmas time, it was a further four months before he returned to action to play in the final seven games, scoring in Albion's Premiership farewell at Everton. <\/P>
Gera was a revelation in his first season in English football during 2004\/05. His all-action displays at right-midfield caught the eye and his six Premiership goals helped the Baggies pull off the Great Escape.<\/P>Gera<\/SPAN> also skippered his country under former Hungary coach and Germany legend Lothar Matthaus.<\/SPAN>","2cTRkGzOEXMBmwUeNncCzA==":"\u0e40\u0e04\u0e0a\u0e40\u0e04\u0e40\u0e21\u0e15\u0e34 TE","e_index":2};
