    Big Ben comes home Saturday

    Ben Turner returns on Saturday with Burton. I for one would hope he gets a good reception from the fans he deserves nothing less. I will always remember the goal at Wembley.

    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!

    I correct everyone that says we lost that final.
    We drew it I say 2-2 was the final score.
    Liverpool won the penalty shoot out.

    Great day out!

    Yep moment of total euphoria.

    Hope the law of the ex doesn't kick in on Saturday though.

    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.

    We laugh because it is so very likely!
    It's as if we have to present a belated leaving gift to most ex players.

    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.

    I see Brayford is there too now. Love affair with the Blades went a bit sour It seems.

    Indeed. And a couple of classic Turner clearances into row Z

    Had a solid game and seems to have put the injury behind him. Typical whole-hearted display and sportingly applauded when injured.

    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.
