"Little Benny" Bennion

Without trying to derailing the thread, the myth that The Smiths were a student / wimpy kids band is nonsense. They did become that after the event but not at the time. I went to 5 gigs and the one at Salford Uni was the closest I have been to being at a game when at a gig. Pure meat heads, looking to kick off, chanting 'Salford, Salford Salford' between songs. Most took their shirts off it was so hot in there.... muscle bound shaved heads..... singing and dancing to Hand In Glove and Frankly Mr Shankly. My best gig ever.

RIP Benny, can't recall him to be honest. Can I ask, how did he pass away?

Cardiac Arrest on Friday. Managed to recover his heart beat, but unfortunately died NY day (Monday) at 4pm. Aged 49
 
City fans are special and so was Benny. Rest in Peace. His values are to be applauded. Sad sad news....

Liked the fact that he helped kick the NF out of City in the 80s.

Yes, he deserves credit for that, I hated seeing them outside Maine Rd. I didn't know him to speak to but looking at his pic in that article I do remember him from away games in that era.

RIP Blue.
 
RIP BENNY LAD.
A Die hard blue who was with us through the dark / bad times and the good / great times
