And good luck at Swindon and in your future career.

A shame it didn't quite work out for him, I can't begrudge wishing an honest trier the best of luck.

    I'll always wish the bloke well - gave his best for us and that is all you can ask. A good honest pro.

    Paul Benson at Charlton. Right player at wrong time. I wish him well. With hindsight it seems prising him away from the daggers where he was idolised and then finding him as surplus to requirements under a new regime at Charlton is very sad.

    I also wish him well, my favourite Benson moment being the winning goal at Carlisle in the last minute. He always seemed to try hard, didn't always get the support he needed and I hope he does very well at Swindon.

    10 goals in 32 apps, mostly while playing in last seasons team; often being asked to play an unfamiliar role..

    Sorry Benno, I don't get it either - thought you should be given a chance at least as understudy to BWP in this seasons team.

    Good luck, pal

    One of CP's errors playing Euell in front of him? Can't help feeling there is an untold story. He is a proven, goalscorer and a better forward than when he joined us. Wholehearted trier and conducted his exile like a pro especially as he has a media outlet.

    I wish him well but would not be unhappy if we still see him in a Charlton shirt.  He's a smart player - sure, no pace, but great anticipation (5th goal at P'boro which he lays on for Martin) & some strikes of real quality (winner at Carlisle is as good as 'good' Torres).  Never got the chance to show what he could do for us in a good team with decent service, esp Green given past history.

    Good luck paul, if confirmed.

    Really liked the guy and a good player but as said wrong time.  I hope he can resurrect his career again as would hate to think we messed it up for him permanently.

    I agree with the sentiments on here - felt he was not given a fair crack of the whip really. Should we keep him in case a) BWP gets injured or b) BWP goes to a Championship club in the transfer window? I'd say "yes" to that. Still, it's not my decision.

    Regardless of whether the deal goes through or not I've felt very sorry for him this season. Didn't he score in his one start, against Championship opposition? Seems he made it clear he wasnted to be starting and Powell decided he would rather play happy squad members. I hope Benno sees out his career playing, it's just a shame he has to do it with McCormack again

    Again, have I missed something here?

    I could be wrong, but I could've sworn this thread had already been done at least once before.

    Not my favorite player but tried hard when others didn't unlike others.

    it just didn't work out for him here so good luck to him at Swindon.

    I feel he could have done a job for us but CP sees him every day in training and he knows best. Good luck to you Paul.
