Ben Alexander

[jane the pain]

Today marks the 26th anniversary of Ben Alexanders death. I still remember that day clearly.

What a sad day. His death destroyed the Panthers 91 dynasty and was an unbearable tragedy for the Alexander family. I attended the first game after his death which was at Campbelltown. It was the most sombre crowd I have ever seen. The Wests fans showed a lot of respect that day and there were fans from both sides openly weeping in the stands when they played the song 'Ben" in his honour. Brad Fittler was immense that day and played to honour his mates memory. Just an awful time for everybody.

Ben was in the year below me at McCarthy Catholic Senior High, at Emu Plains, and he was in my brothers year. Ben was polite, and a larrkin. He died way to soon.

Ben was two years above me at St Doms.

Definitely died way too soon. I still remember the funeral service at St Nicks.

Same. Penrith became a ghost town.
