Mark Bentley

[Slartibartfast]

Not only playing at Cardiff on Sunday in the LDV Final but also PFA Division 2 player of the month for March.

[Fleet til i die]

Quality Player

[Wobbly Wayne rides again]

But he still got 'the treatment' from certain elements of the crowd.

 

He was a class above in his 1 season with us, and he more than anuone kept us in the conference that season

Yeah, well they're thick, you could hardly expect those morons to recognise a quality player. Bentley and Eastwood have done expectionally well for a Southend side, who now top the table. Full credit to an ex NL manager who was prepared to take a chance on them. How many more NL players would make it given the chance?

true

 

 

Always remember talking to a couple of 'respected ' fleet fans after he left us, and they were happy that the money grabbing lazy git had left..

[FleetFanatic]

He was quality - never a doubt about that.

I called him money-grabbing, but not lazy!!!

 

Was just annoyed that he buggered off to Dagenham the following season!

Are you saying that offered more money FF you would not take it with open arms???? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

1 season - not much of a show of loyalty from a player with a history of injuries at the time.

[DarrenGNFC]

Shame they lost. Defending on that second goal was shocking.

[bigboybubs]

before u start having a go fleet fans.

 

just remember where he started his career.

it was at Enfield fc.

george borg saw the talent and so did us fans, now he is a quality prouduct.

he started in enfield youth under jim chandler( now enfield town manager) then was spotted by george.

 

well done mark.

He signed for one season and he was the best player we had for that season, what more do you want?

Loyalty only seems to work one way at this club. If a player has a bad patch everyone gets on their back and wants them replaced yet if a player does well and another club comes in for them we consider them disloyal if they leave.

Must agree with the last post Mark is a Class Player and has worked very hard to get where he is today!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/applaus.gif" alt="" />

[Hirsty]

Absolutely right Starti !!

 

I think the phrase is "you can't have your cake, and eat it" ?

 

Cheers,

Agree to some extent WW, he was a class player & earned us a few points that year but if anyone kept us up it was Wilko who`s displays in many back-to -the-wall games gave us vital points. I believe MB also missed about 6 autumn weeks with an injury.
