Will always remember the good times

Hmm frees up wages for another signing.... Or maybe it just paid for Kane's pay rise.

 

[nferno]

Shame he had such a high fall from grace.

I'm going to say it, unpopular I know....but I loved Benny. And he was part of a very very good Spurs team.

Of course there have been many negative factors, but there was just something I really liked about him.

Anyway, about time he left...624 days after last playing for us....

I think the free transfer window is longer than the normal one?

If so, might give him time to find an even more desperate club after tonight.

Shame, at one point he was linked to some pretty big clubs as a performer for Spurs. A big fall from grace ahead of his time.



A spurs legend in his own right, but unfortunately won't get a testimonial due to the last couple of seasons...

Did he still get his hair done at that barbers shop on the High Road?

 

[Geyzer Soze]

I wish him well & I'll miss his zany ways

When he decided he played best in odd boots ...

 

[tiger666]

Good.

 

[Tom Pops]

Seems a strange time to release him, right at the end of the transfer window

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

Joe Lewis has picked out the re-modelling of his yacht. More money saved for another transfer window.

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

Oh wow.... Dele Alli ... he is going straight back to MK Dons. Big spenders!!! He is also with a view to a profit, which will definitely happen. Like buying a 3 bed semi in Essex.

 

[markiespurs]

Sad to see it end this way for BAE.

 

[Metalhead]

Good.

Ha ha straight to the point.

 

[HotspurFC1950]

Silly man. Clearly self centred.

 

[Blake Griffin]

the comments on spurs twitter are so disrespectful, thankfully only a few of those idiots made their way onto this forum.

I liked Disco Benny and won't forget that goal he scored against Liverpool. Good lad.

Why did it end like this.

 

[jambreck]

Gotta say that I really liked Benny.

Hope he finds a decent club and can resurrect his career.

There's like one barbers for every person in tottenham....
