Ben Burgess, players can be human, too

[haywain]

Players come in for quite a bit of stick on these pages and rightly so in most cases

i know we probably tend to focus on the idiot side of footballers but it's always worth remembering that most of them are pretty decent people, on or off the pitch

love this article by Ben Burgess, a bit of a legend with a small 'l' for Hull City and Blackpool fans

well worth a read, imho

BBB (Big Ben Burgess) played a vital part in Hull City's rise from the lower leagues. He struck up a great partnership with fellow strike partner Danny Allsopp and scored many important goals for us. I wish him well in his new teaching career. I haven't forgiven him for scoring a last minute winner for Blackpool versus the tigers a few years ago though :-(

Played for Notts as well scoring quite a few goals. Nice to see a professional football player with some brains
