3 key men in Millwall’s revival

Ben Thompson

In every successful side, you need a midfield general. Someone that will take the game by the scruff of the neck, be the ball-winner and make things tick. Ben Thompson is just that.

Despite his young years, Thompson possesses a maturity in his play that isn’t usually seen in someone of his age.

Perhaps it’s the fact that he’s a Millwall supporter, that helps, but if you need someone that will never stop and get the fans going, then the midfielder is your man.

Whilst others changed the game in a more attacking sense against Gillingham, Thompson was everywhere from minute one, not giving the opposition any peace – and he was rightly uttered by many as a potential man of the match.

Many fans see Thompson as how they would perform if they ever had the honour of playing for Millwall – many will also be wishing they were alongside the midfielder as the club look to bounce back from their September slump.
