To be honest I wasn't even aware Gerard Bennett was still playing anywhere.
IMO the best number 42 to play for the Swans. IIRC played half a season after getting his shoulder dislocated in a game. That takes guts.
Does God believe in Atheists?
Gutsy player who never gave up...even when some bigger names were letting their heads drop. Got Brownlow votes in that game (2??) and I was very dissappointed that he was delisted. Very.
There was specualation that there were off field reasons...no rumours, just trying to work out his delisting decision.
GB's time coincided with my becoming a true Swans fan and I have always had a very big soft spot for him. To me, he epitomsed the "unfashionable Swans" hard work/make it even though I wasn't born chris Judd/ spirit which came to fruition in 2005. Still don't understand his delisting. An Eade decision??
Very happy to hear he has a busy business to ran.
