Was a fine afternoon that. As I recall that tool got sent off in front of the Bob playing for Wrexham and remonstrated with the ref, a good old walk off the pitch. Serenaded all the way by said chant. Gary Bennett truly a W*nker

I was in the Canton for that one. He got dogs abuse. Tried to laugh it off with the crowd and got pelted with verbals and coins. Crowd defo got him sent off that day.
It was quite a big rivalry at the time City v Wrexham.
It was the cheek and his stupid face what done it. Ninian was up and baying at the time. He was a good player for them. Big rivals at the time like you say. What a gift. What a result. Truly a w*nker.Originally Posted by J R Hartley
It's why it lives so long in the memory cause the clart hung around so long after his card. The whole ground (including my gramp) telling him what he is. Lols. Just came back to me. Class.
Remember him getting injured, going off the pitch then throwing a tantrum because the ref wouldn't let him on. The reason, he had been subbed.
Also remember him moaning at a linesman for being called offside - my dad shouted "you were onside Bennett, but your teeth were two yards off".
Your Dads line
Yes would have been around then. If memory serves it was the season after we both got promoted from the dungeon.
Had some good battles with them, usually with us coming out on top.
The grange end celebration for Carl Dales goal against them in the Welsh Cup semi final truly is something else.
They were a good side Flynn at the helm and Bennett was a top scorer and a W*nker.
must have been 93 ? ? ? ?
good times
95 was the Wrexham final. Last time we entered the Welsh Cup cos the FAW barred the route to Europe for teams playing in the EFL. 93 we beat Rhyl (and won promotion), 94 we were playing four games a week and lost to Barry Town (still should've won though) and by 95 the turnaround was complete and we were on our way back down. I don't remember any trouble though; I just went home.must have been 93 ? ? ? ?
good times
I think the Bennett sending off was for an elbow?
Against Jason Perry? It was 91 I think. pasted em 4 or 5-0. Bennett is a W*nker
Feb 5th 1994 to be exact mate.
5-1 according to the record books.
Didn’t he score then get sent off?
yea, 93 was the 2 semi games and we played them to get close to the end of the season, we both went up that year, i even mentioned it in my post on here, it was late last night LOL
He thought it was banter til he got struck with about 40 quids worth of bronze and silver
He was a wanker but in fairness when they beat us at the Arms Park in the Welsh cup he celebrated with the Wrexham fans then he come over and clapped the Cardiff fans but the majority went nuts on him
A W*nker see. If he played for us he would have been a hero mind.He was a wanker but in fairness when they beat us at the Arms Park in the Welsh cup he celebrated with the Wrexham fans then he come over and clapped the Cardiff fans but the majority went nuts on him
And then nuts on the Wrexham fans outsideHe was a wanker but in fairness when they beat us at the Arms Park in the Welsh cup he celebrated with the Wrexham fans then he come over and clapped the Cardiff fans but the majority went nuts on him
As Danny Dyer would say it was Pwoper naughty after the game. And before the game if memory serves.
Wrexham got chased from Down Town (Now O Neills) up to the old Toys R Us and got themselves trapped and caged into some building works on the Hayes.
I remember city fans throwing punches through the builders fences with Wrexham all huddled upAnd then nuts on the Wrexham fans outside

I remember the year before we played them in the semi's of the welsh cup, home and away, we had beaten them in a league a few days before on the Saturday then had to go back up midweek, I foolishly ( with a few mates, some not so city fans ) got the train, Saturday the train was packed, midweek, no-one on our train, couldnt find a pub that would let us is, despite us putting on the best scouse accents we could, pretty sure we won that game aswell, made our way to the station expecting to see a few city, nothing, just very angry wrexham lads , a announcement came over the tannoy, would any fans travelling to cardiff please step forward as British rail will hold the connecting train at Shrewsbury
we stood back and one of the guys ( first city game ) stepped forward and waved at the guard and shouted " Cardiff here ", a few angry men headed towards him, the train pulled up and we jumped on with a carriage to ourselves courtesy of British transport police
Always liked Wrexham. Some proper lads and a good club standing against the tide of Manc n Scouse sh*te what for they have to put up with.
Agreed
always showed for Wales back then, when it used to be tough to follow Wales
Bumped into a few in a pub in Cheltenham ( where i was dating a girl i met on holidays ), one spotted my bluebird pin badge, had a good night out with them, no grudges
Defo. I think it was Ian Wright once said you don’t booed by the opposition fans if you’re shit.
I’d say that applies 99% of the time. The other 1% reserves for the likes of Alan Tate and El Hadj Diouf.
Can agree with this. The majority of players I have put on my W*nker list, I would be the first to defend Flying under a Blue Sky. The 2 you mention tho still W*nkers.
Darren adams (was it?) scored an absolute worldly in that game too - first time volley on the turn from 25 yards, into the top corner.
Might even have been his debut - Don't think I saw him do anything near that again.
