Yeah he is Lebanese.. Hey when I was studying at Uni - It was Nepean College of Advanced Education in those days - Now Universtiry Of Western Sydney Westmead. Anyway I heard that Benny had attneded there to complete a Marketing Degree. He was apparently in about his 2nd year, studying and training wih Tigers circa 1982 or thereabouts.. Anyway he had an exam but had training commitments so he had a "cousin" sit his exam for him. Problem was - one of the independant scrutineers that collect the papers was a HUGE Tigers fan and couldnt wait to meet Benny. When she was collecting the papers, she noticed a funny looking lebanese handed in Bennys Paper and realised what had happened. Anyway as a result Beny was indefiinately suspended from the Uni... By the time I left around 1986 he hadnt been asked back to complete his Marketing Degree.. Who said Lebanese aren't too bright (LOL)
