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.
