Good servant of the club who probably played on for two more years than he should of.

Yep, he was poor in the catty game- dreamy mcdreamboat, on the other hand

Best of luck to Benny, he's a lovely guy and has been a wonderful servant to the club. I must admit that I was kind of hoping that he'd get to 200 this year, bad as gifting games would be.

[Plugger46]

Well done Benny. See you later.

[connolly]

Great clubman, strong and courageous. Done well and played good Benny.

[hammo]

Yep, congratulations Ben on a fantastic career.
