Interesting. Are you at the computer on your own or is your carer with you?

He was absolutely sh*t, and I remember the old stadium heckling and booing him on several occasions. He did indeed score a hatrick in a 4-1 defeat of Sellik - but sadly (and very typically) it was a mid-winter friendly (everyone else's pitch was frozen) and there was nobody there to record it. So even when he was good, no-one actually knew it had ever happened.

:agree:Remember it. I don't think I will ever get misty eyed when I remember Benny but he would hold his own in recent Hibs sides and would certainly have put more effort into it to make up for his other shortcomings.

Benny must have been doing something right to have played under 5 Hibs managers!

IIRC he played under Turnbull, Ormond, Auld, Stanton and Blackley before being emptied by Alex Miller.

I may be wrong, but I'm sure Benny was an under 21 cap? His longevity baffled those of us who seen him play, but he was one who gave it his all for us. He was no Franz Beckenbauer, but then again, he was no Stuart Turnbull.

I missed the 6-3 game because I couldn't get off shift at the Artisan. I've a very good friend who is extremely pally with Sir Patrick of Stanton who said, no-one could take the ball off of him in training.
Benny's problem seemed to be doing his job with an audience -which is a bit of a p*sser since he drives buses now.

Personally I never forgave him for not booting the ball into Albion Road when we were 1 up against Dundee United 90th minute - in the cup and lost the replay.

i remember that game well ( i think it went to 2 replays and we played them something like 4 times in 14 days) Nobody remembers who was at fault for the goal, just the fact Beny made the mistake that led to the corner.
He was never the most gifted player, but he was the scapegoat on many occasions. He was very typical of the calibre of player we had then (tom kite:rolleyes:) but his appearance lent itself to being a victim
It was disgraceful the treatment he recieved from the Hibs fans at times.
Never seen a player clear it off the line as many times as Beny did, and he was a very fit guy. I wished for better players but felt very sorry for the guy at times
He certainly had a better attitude and respect for our club than most at present

I remember it well.

We were in the main stand for some reason. The game was about to end and Hibs were through, I thought.

I shook the hands of all my pals and said, "See you in the next round".

Benny conceded the corner and we were out.

My mate turned round to me and said, "That's your fault".

No sure about that - saw them training up the Jack Kane a few times and he was ****ing horrendous. Fell over the round fellae more than once when I was watching LOL :wink:

Benny was subjected to some of the worst personal abuse that I've heard at ER and that's saying something.

brog
02-12-2011, 09:45 AM
The OP published this nonsense previously. From memory Benny only ever took 2 pens, the famous friendly & then again in the pen shoot out, also against Celtc in the 4-4 game. Of course, when it mattered Benny missed that one but thankfully Celtc had Pierce O'Leary!! Benny became a first team choice after Sloop was sold & his first game, against St J I think, summed him up. Played superbly for 80 minutes, the EEN ready to say Sloop wouldn't be missed, then a horribly sclaffed pass back to concede a late winner. Definitely not a Stuart Turnbull but not in same class as Blackley etc, mind you not many were.

Peevemor

Can you imaging if the internet and the likes of .net had existed in Benny's era? He would have been massacred on here, the abuse at ER would have turned really nasty and after a couple of seasons he'd probably have been out the door with his confidence shattered.

Kato

Stanton got the best out of him as a holding midfielder and also managed to stop many of the errors. Benny could run all day so that role suited him.

Before then though he was a walking catatlogue of errors. There was never just a plain mistake, he always made glaring ones. Los tcount of the times he got the ball right in the face/nads.

There is the famous story about Benny's hat trick against Celtic.

Remember this was the days before lap tops, mobiles, etc and communications are not as up to the minute as today.

John Blackley was the manager and he went away on a scouting mission that day so missed the game.
The story goes that when he phoned ER after the match he was told Hibs won 6-3 and Benny had scored a hat trick.

His reply was ' Who for?'

Says it all really.

Benny always fared well against Davie Cooper ironically. Had him in his back pocket in the '79 final(s).

I seem to remember a game at Love Street when Benny got carried off with a knee injury.

He was running along and then let out what can only be described as a blood curdling scream of agony before crumpling spectacularly. Anyone else corroborate this? - I'm worried I have false memory syndrome involving Benny Brazil, which would be a worry on many, many counts.

I concur with the original poster :tin hat:

Only joking, just thought I'd live up to the user name :wink: . On a serious note Benny was diabolical on a bad day, on a good day just passable. Unfortunately for us Bennys bad days far outweighed the sporadic good days. Todays team need Bennys workrate together with 300% of his ability.

That was just one of Bennys finest moments say what you like Benny had fire in his belly passion and desire to win and play for the badge.
My OP Was to highlight this compared to the players who wear the jersey at the moment.
several beers may have also clouded my judgement.:flag:

The worst Player I have ever seen in The Hibs Teams over the years.

Also has the missfortune to speak to him after losing tio Rangers 0-1 in the LC semi, we won 2-1 over the 2 legs so were in the final. Said to him "good result" and the twat tried to attack me.

An Earse of a Man and an Earse of a player.

Maybe he was disappointed we lost to that Cooper free kick at Ibrox? A winner's mentality perhaps?

I remember the Hearts fans cheering when his name was announced in the team before derbies. Still can't recollect him chucking in the towel during games the same way as some of our more recent "superstars" have done. If more of our supposedly better players had his attitude they would be even better players for it.
