Hamish1979 added 14:58 - Oct 13 Who is Ben King? He must've been crap as he doesn't even come up in google.

tractor_boy added 15:27 - Oct 13 Sure Ben King played in Midfield. Made around half a dozen appearances in the late 70s early 80s. See profile pic. Great hair!

FransT added 17:05 - Oct 13 Benji King was a real prospect - although he was all right foot (his left was only good for standing on). Seriously, he would've been one of the 'Greats' if his career hadn't been curtailed by injury.

pete_itfc added 19:13 - Oct 14 can't wait to see Ben roll back the years, remember his great goal in the 2-1 win at the Dell in 83'. If he hadn't "come out" shortly afterwards he could have been a real leg end.

Rich004 added 19:28 - Oct 14 Ben Kingy, 1981 youth B team player of the season, how can anyone forget!! That whole coming out thing ruined a career that surely would have seen him progress to ball boy!
