Our 2 longest servants (players)

Ben Mee and Kevin Long, I believe.
Got me wondering how many times they have actually played as a central defensive pair.
Anyone have the stats?

They've started four games together when Ben Mee has been at left back, but as a central defensive partnership it is 7 games - all of them last season

Spurs (h)
Man U (a)
Huddersfield (a)
Newcastle (a)
Man City (h)
Swansea (a)
Southampton (h)

7 + 4 = 11. I guessed right! Sometimes I amaze myself, I guess I must absorb the stats by osmosis or something!

But the question wasn't how many games have they started together, it was how many they've played together and they've played together more than 11 times.

But we only lost 2 and, I seem to recall, it was when we were going thru a serious injury crisis where the team picked itself
