Comings & Goings 3: Ben B

'Your keeper is an absolute legend I must say, is he like that every week or was that a oneoff??? A couple of his saves were Gordon Banks like, not to mention the time he came flying out for a cross he was never entitled to take and casually stuck one arm out under pressure and somehow the ball stuck!' -Stopout player, 2008
A Tribute to Ben B - who would have guessed such a crap defender could become such a great keeper. I'm sure Jamie prolonged his injury just for fear of Ben been picked instead of him. For every 'Come the F**k out' Ben call, there were multiple amazing and at times gravity defying saves.
So many memories - Running half a field to punch Justice and get our first red card, busting an eyebrow open and coming back all taped up to ref. But lets hear the great one speak, from an earlier profile question: As a player I am susceptible to ...
• Strikers
• Midfielders
• Backs
• Referees
• Being nutsed
• Being beaten generally
• Slipping over when trying to pick the ball up and conceding a goal
• Justice
• Injustice
• Rain
• Kryptonite
• I could go on.

And Ben, you often do. Good luck with the move to Melbourne, hope you get a game or 2 before you leave. You too will be missed.

Shit finemaster though ...
