That's really tragic news. Like others I've known Benny for years. I remember driving down to watch us play at Hereford yonks ago. I had a Triumph Herald, which is a very small car for those that don't know. We set off at midnight and I was the smallest one in the car. Benny was one of 3 in the back of the car, I thought they'd pass out, as Benny wasn't exactly the smallest lad. You'll be sadly missed Benny, RIP lad and keep on cheering us from above.

I remember seeing at the last home game and he looked his usual self, so it came as quite a shock to hear of his sad passing away.
