The Captain

[Vegas Claret]

got a good whack early doors, shrugged it off, organised everything, won every tackle plus won tackles he had no right to win

There is no coincidence in our up turn in form

You shall not pass

Yes. a whack that a sensible offside decision/rule would have prevented.

The best central defender I've seen for us in nearly sixty years. Tarks is a very close second. Fabulous player(s)

[cricketfieldclarets]

Absolutely. Since he came back in we have been a different team.

He epitomises what a captain should be.

[ElectroClaret]

And got tw@tted in the mush...

Collosus.....deserves an England call up

I’d love him to get at least one cap, more than anyone

His performances certainly justify a call up.

[NewClaret]

Warrior. He and Tarks complete legends.

[bfcjg]

I just think he epitomises what we are all about. Managerial material when he hangs up his boots.

[CleggHall]

Header setting up the 2nd goal was stupendous, what a leap?!

[ElectroClaret]

And for a few minutes I looked like he was going to have to go off after that challenge.
Just ran it off.

Funny thing is Ben dosent look Hard does he....but he is one of those guys a bully would pick on because he looked soft....and end up get flattened

[claretandy]

A leader of men, as simple as that.

[JohnMac]

He was excellent again tonight and with his mate inside him we are much steadier.

I've seen plenty of posts over the years about footballers regarded as 'hard men' and the usual suspects invariably appear. Like a lot of the older posters on here I've probably seen them at some time but Ben Mee falls into a category of his own. An unnecessary leg injury in the first half and a bloody nose in the second half but our skipper just gets on with it, wearing down the opposition and setting up what turned out to be the winning goal. As alluded to earlier he doesn't necessarily give off the tough guy image but nobody should be fooled by that. A giant of a man and leader.

[mybloodisclaret]

He is just awesome. Such a fantastic player, is a great servant to our club. Love him.

[Spike]

Absolute warrior and Gentleman .

[BurnleyFC]

He’s just absolutely ******* immense.

They must be in control if they’ve even got time for that

And in spite of what opponents seem to believe, he isn't particularly big. 5 foot 11 inches according to most websites, the PL official one included. That's small for a centre half nowadays.

Size doesn't matter...

Ben is a giant for us
