Ben Mathews Retires

[Hooley McBoob]

What was your funniest moment in football?
It was Paul Williams' 250th game and 'Willo' was making one of his trademark runs down the wing bouncing the ball. We were way in front and 'Willo' had a shot from about 50 metres out and it looked as though it was heading for a goal. John Stevens was in the goal square and tried to shepherd it through but he turned his back on the ball and it hit him in the back and bounced through for a point, ruining Willo's chance of kicking a good running goal in his 250th game. We laughed then and still laugh at Stevens when we see him.

Hahaha, Johnny is never going to live that down!

Great article on a great clubman. Good luck for the future Benny

Re: Matthews retires

You stuck to your guns when you wanted the number 4. You told Plugger he couldn't have it back.

I gotta admit that this always prevented him from becoming one of my favourites

i know that for many others THAT was the moment they fell in love with him....but for some reason that didn't sit well with me.......I know other's feel differently


Thanks for all your strong games and your efforts in landing us the big one Benny

Why didn't he get a send off tonight?

He's probably down in Canberra?

Ah yeah true, I thought that might be a reason. Sad though.

Kenny Williams somehow got mixed up on the thread !!
