Notes

Scott Dobie turned up in the Albion first team from nowhere in 2001. Signed from Carlisle United for £150,000, He finished his first season as the club’s top scorer and got a shock call up by Bertie Vogt’s to the Scotland squad, (via, surprise, surprise, an alleged Scottish grandmother).
Last seen on the fringes of the Nottingham Forest squad and no longer in the Scotland team.
