We never actually did sign him full time did we, I believe John Gregory asked him what he wanted a week and then fell off his chair after Bennie replied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Doug Ellis' budget would have stretched to a Pizza Hut Family Deal and a player, it would be one or the other, could never have been both. You could imagine how the conversation started... "OK John, do you want to feast like a king or do you want a new forward?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronk-villa Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I remember having a corporate in the north stand against sheffield wednesday. He scored an overhead kick for them, and there was a sheffield fan and his little lad with us. Kids about 10 and gets proper mouthy. Anyway, we won 2-1 me and the lad i was with (a west brom fan) were winding his dad up. The kid ended up crying. Not sorry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Cracking little player. We oozed class when we used to have Carbone and Merson on the pitch at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We we're a great team. James, Watson, Southgate, Ehiogu, Wright, Stone, Taylor, Carbone, Merson, Joachim, Dublin. That claret and blue stripe strip we wore from that season was just as awesome as the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted August 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2020 Saw him and his family at Dave and Busters in Solihull once. Gave his wee boy the few tickets I’d won. His boy seemed terrified but Benny put his hand my shoulder and said “grazie, up the villa” and wandered off. Nice bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Watson was on his way out that season and Delaney was becoming the new favourite player everyone would forget within a decade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Not often a player is with us for just one season but leaves such positive mark... Aside from Tammy... Little Benny was the last one I could think of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
