Ben Chenery

Benjamin Roger Chenery Date of Birth: Jan 28, 1977

Taken on as a youth trainee by Luton from under the noses of home town club Ipswich, Ben made his Hatters debut playing at right-back in an F.A.Cup replay at Bristol Rovers in 1995.

He had to wait for his league debut until the end of the following season, with the Town already relegated, but finding places at Kenilworth Road still limited he joined Cambridge United in 1997 where he enjoyed a regular full-back position over the next three years.

It was after leaving league football that Ben enjoyed his greatest successes though. With Canvey Island he scored the winner in the 2001 F A Trophy final and starred as the Essex club rose up the leagues.

With Canvey folding, Ben joined Chelmsford before going on to Bury Town who he subsequently managed.
