Benali's Big Run To Reach Burnley Today
He has been on the road to Hull and now he is heading to Burnley as Francis Benali continues on his big run.
Francis Benali has had a tough test since leaving Hull City, it is a long stretch to the next destination which is Burnely's Turf Moor, his daughter Kenzie and wife Karen have been joining him for portions of pounding the road, but there will be a big Saints connection waiting for him in Lancashire.
Firstly former team mate and now Accrington Stanley manager (who are they ? exactly !) will be joining him for some of the run and it with virtually all Burnley's strikers hailing from the Southampton area and being Saints fans, he will get a warm welcome.
The official man meeting him is Danny Ing's, but he could also be joined by fellow boyhood Saints fans Sam Vokes and Lucas Jutkiewicz all ready to help him with his daily ice bath challenge to keep his muscles in recovery mode at the end of each days challenge
