Bye Bye Ben/Benny announces retirement

[goswannie14]

I too think Ben may have gone a year or two too long. However, having said that, when you watch the 05 season highlights Ben was truly one of the reasons we won the flag. Well done Ben, I hope you enjoy your life after football.

Keep dreamin'

That'd be a nightmare, not a dream.

And wasn't it Matthews who refused to give Plugger back his No. 4 jumper during the Plugger comeback?

No, it was the other bloke that wears number 4 you peanut.

Best of luck to Benny, he's a lovely guy and has been a wonderful servant to the club. I must admit that I was kind of hoping that he'd get to 200 this year, bad as gifting games would be.

Sorry he couldn't crack it for another 2 games. There were a few games recently he could've starred in.

Bye bye Ben.
You had a great career at the Swans and we thank you (in our different and unique ways) for your service. I hope to see you at the game on Saturday to give you a cheer!

Well done Ben. Great service to the club and as one of the gang of six captains, a well-deserved premiership medal.

Makes me wanna join a conga line and celebrate..."no more Benny Matthews, no more Benny Matthews"

[ROK Lobster]

Won one more premiership medallion than anyone on here

Maybe, maybe not.

[hammo]

Yep, congratulations Ben on a fantastic career.

[connolly]

Great clubman, strong and courageous. Done well and played good Benny.

[Plugger46]

Well done Benny. See you later.
