Whatever Happened To... Ben May
Ben May spent two spells on loan at the U's from Millwall in 2003 and 2004, scoring two goals in 21 appearances over the two occasions.
He had loan spells at Brentford after both times he was at Layer Road, scoring eight goals in 49 appearances.
Following four loan spells away from the Den, he held a regular place in the Millwall first team, making 44 appearances and scoring 11 goals in the 2005-06 season. The following season was disrupted by injuries and he made 19 appearances, scoring four goals. He went out on loan to Scunthorpe United in September 2007, a move which was made permanent in January 2008, leaving Millwall for an undisclosed fee, after seven years, having scored 19 goals in 95 appearances.
His time at Scunthorpe was mixed, with him making 50 appearances in his first 18 months at the Iron and then only making one appearance in the 2009-10 season, due to injury. He was then released when Scunthorpe were relegated out of the Championship.
He joined Stevenage Borough in October last year, where he has missed many games due to injury.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Brentford (loan), Scunthorpe United, Stevenage Borough.
What to read next:
Ruthless fouling didn’t work, hitting out like a child didn’t work, muscling up to Swans players certainly didn’t work as Vitor Matos got his first win at the third attempt as Swans head coach against a misguided Oxford side this afternoon. The referee, one Anthony Backhouse matched Oxford with the worst performance seen at the Swans home stadium this season.
If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report.
It’s a huge game for both sides, the Swans desperately need a win, the last time was at home in October v Norwich City.
Swansea Independent subscriber and social media follower, Matt Latham is on his first trip to Swansea this morning. A quest for him over the last fourteen years of following Swansea City. We had a chat with Matt who will be at the Oxford United game today.
This evening we look to on the pitch matters leading up to tomorrow afternoons big game against Oxford United (3pm) at the swansea.com. Vitor Matos has already stated that he has a full squad to choose from, and all that comes with our match day morning focus tomorrow plus team news.
Swans head coach, Vitor Matos had an interesting pre match gathering this week and possibly put paid to Malick Yalcouyé’s immediate involvement this weekend. Of course that would depend on how you view the words of the Portuguese who is already seeing more and more about his task ahead.
The month of December comes around with a few extra fixtures and the end of those six fixtures is a catalyst for some teams. The Swans have issues on the pitch and some are stating off it as well.
The vultures were circling overhead. The bleached bones of the dead lay all around. Wait…a movement…a moving hand. A hen peckered face turns to the light and screams out, ‘Jack Butty here. I’m back with my latest missive from the defiles of dreadful duplicity.’ The cheers of voices were raised. Jack Butty looked around, ‘You lot can pipe down. You’re all gonners and gooners.’ And so, it came to pass…
The Swansea City coaching mystery took another weird step yesterday when we received some information on Tozé Mendes, the new assistant manager to Vitor Matos. Well, in certain quarters he is Vitor’s assistant.
It all was going so nicely, well for fifteen minutes of the game yesterday at The Hawthorns. The script unfolded as soon as West Bromwich Albion got ahold of the game. A game which ended just the way most expected.
