Good work, that's a cracking bit of business.
Plus we can just give him Benyon's number, we can replace the Y with an S on his shirt, jobs a good 'un.

I imagine that's what sealed the deal for Jeremy Wray  |

alas Benyon wasn't given a squad number this year. I wonder if Wray realises this and will still sanction the deal? |

Good bit of business with the added bonus that he won't be playing against us this season anyway - at least he can't do us any damage unlike STFC rejects Saaaarfend  |

Benyon and Clarke, two of the biggest wastes of space in STFC history?

16 games, 1 goal and 2 win between them. Although there are so so so many contenders - just from the last 18 months alone... |

Not sure whether this is good business because of the predicament we have got ourselves in with Clarke, or whether it is a good piece of business in its own right? I don't know enough about Benson to tell - Although time is not on his side!

Fantastic piece of business, get's Clarke off the wage bill and means we dont have to pay anything for Benson who is a proven goal scorer at this level.
