Any relation to Ian Benjamin who played for us around the same time ?

Know quite a few black people called Benjamin, their ancestor must have been prolific.

I was in the EDS Pen - quite a decent view from there as well. I remember thinking, "Oooh heck, we could be in trouble here!" Mind you, I thought the same in another game against Leicester, Filbert Street 1990. After all the pitch invasions due to us banging four in during the first half, I was looking at Hodge getting treatment for concussion for what felt like forever and worrying that maybe one of the fans had clonked him one.

Lot of surnames of black people derive from the slave days/plantation owners so not ancestors as such eg Beckford,Campbell. There was a prominent slave owner called Judah Benjamin.

Remember seeing it on tv, can't remember when but it was filmed in black and white. Written by Barry Hines I think who followed the Blades quite a bit and loved TC. Now those were dark days indeed.

Yes , 1980 .

I was in the film as a young 19 year old . All filmed in black and white and directed by Ken Loach .

Barry Hines came along to some of the shoots - great experience

As long as you weren't exploited into taking your clothes off in an artistic scene. Or did they have to stop you saying it's not necessary but thanks for volunteering?

Yes, Brum fans were booing Hockey every time he touched the ball until he hit a stunning equaliser. Woody scored the winner in the 2nd half.
