Episode 21 - Jon Benton.
“Go Play Games”
A lad that has lived every young boys dream joining his local professional club at the age of 9 and progressing through to a first team debut. He saw a lot at Southend and enjoyed some great highs and the lows but unfortunately due to the embargo had to leave the football club.
He has played lots of games for his age at varying levels, ranging from academy, u23s, Isthmian North, Premier, Conference South and National. Never afraid to go out and get games to prove his worth and put himself in the shop window with the old adage of one step back for two steps forward.
His big move away from Roots Hall ended in a play off spot with Solihull Moors and two Wembley finals within a week. Unfortunately both finals were lost on penalties but he had performed well in both games and took a successful spot kick in the Trophy final.
After that summer of what if for the football club he left on loan to Maidstone where after another successful spell he was recalled and sold to Boreham Wood.
His transfer to Wood coincided with a big upturn in form and a long unbeaten run that culminated in sitting top of the tree. After a couple of recent losses they got back to winning ways on Monday at Hemel.
Jon is an outstanding young man with a great outlook and positive attitude for the game and I look forward to watching his career flourish for years to come.
This episode is dedicated to Jon’s brother Ed.
I hope you enjoy the episode and if in doubt “Turn it round the corner”.
