Ben Roberts Retires!

[Wilka]

Just had a text from the club

 

[Hungry Joe]

At least he can concentrate on his dodgy antiques/private investigation business now.

Sad news, all the best Ben.

 

[bigc]

4 retirements in a season!

is this a record?

 

[culvers]

God thats a shock.
He was a great keeper for us, always felt safe when we had him and Kuipers because if one got injured we still had a good back up.
I hope he has something to fall back on, or will the club pay out the remainder of his contract like they did earlier in the season?

 

[Silent Bob]

Shame, he was excellent back up at the very least.

Good luck Ben in the future.

I think all those years at Charlton and Boro probably set him up nicely.

Very sad

Thanks for your good work Ben

 

[Eggman]

Shame. But it was on the cards.

Cheers Ben, especially for your performance in the play-offs.

Good Luck

 

[Superseagull]

One of the best keepers we had at the club for a long time. Injury and Kuipers being on top form limited his first team chances but always looked class when in goal.

[JJ McClure]

Very Sad, but some what inevitable. I never did expect to see him back.

That penalty save and his shouts of "Away" will live long in the memory.

As he did so well at the BHA race day I guess he'll have more time to spend studying the form and earn a few quid off the bookies.

All the best Coco

Gutted

[blueandwhitearmy]

such a shame, all the best Ben

 

[Soton Seagull]

Sad, if fairly expected, news. Just Hope Kuipers manages to make a full recovery or we are in trouble.

 

[itszamora]

Sadly it's hardly unexpected.

Nevertheless, he was a fine keeper and one of the reasons we went up last year. All the best Ben.

 

[Oscar]

Judging by his past injury record I think we were lucky to get the service out of him that we did. He was a vital element of our geeting to and winning the play offs. Just hope Michel come back OK as our No1 and we get a decent young understudy. IN the meantime, gook luck and thanks Ben.

 

[virgirlo]

will be missed

looking forward to Kuipers return

 

[On the Left Wing]

4 retirements in a season!

is this a record?

Four!!

Ben Roberts
Simon Rodger
Dean Blackwell

who is the fourth? I must have slept through it!

 

[Turkey]

Really suprised actually. Such a shame for him. His save at Bradford was one of the best I've ever seen. All the best to Ben in the future.
