I can't think of any reason why he'd get anything other than a great reception.
That goal is one of my favourite football memories too!
Just looked him up on burton fc..... Its his birthday on saturday aswell ....
I correct everyone that says we lost that final.Quote:

A player who gave 100% top man:thumbup:
I hope he doesn't celebrate his birthday with a goal. I will be giving him a good reception,he may not have been the best footballer but he always gave 100% and sometimes this season,we could have done with that.

To be honest I thought he was injured and we still owned him.
Nailed on to score the winner in the 95th minute thenQuote:

Magical moment that wasn't really matched until the day we returned to blue.

I for one will give him a wholehearted welcome back. Big part of our recent history and an immense centre back and huge character.
Always wheeled out to face the press when thing weren't going well and as solid and honest off the pitch as he was on it.
Rarely bettered by centre forwards, even in the Prem, I'd go as far as to say if he hadn't got injured we might well have picked up the extra points that would have kept us up.
And THAT moment at Wembley. Almost like the ball was willed into the net by 40000 collective hearts and one unstoppable force.
Ben Turner- welcome home - proud to have seen you in a Bluebird shirt
My fav moments apart from his wembley goal were his performance against villa and his tackle on shelvey the tosser.Quote:

Thought ben had a decent game tbh. Looks fit and as committed as ever. Well play big man and loved the ayotollah!!
Indeed. And a couple of classic Turner clearances into row ZQuote:

But when I saw him 'running' back after a set piece it reminded me that he always seemed to be running thru treacle. His legs were pumping, but he wasn't moving. It was like seeing my Dad running for a bus when he was 65. I'll treasure that moment for all the wrong reasons.
