One of the best changing rooms – Mal Benning hails squad spirit ahead of Wembley final
Port Vale wingback Mal Benning has hailed the spirit of the Valiants squad as they prepare to take on Mansfield Town in the League Two play-off final.
Benning, who had a lengthy spell with opponents Mansfield, had a slow start to his Vale career but has come to the fore with a series of strong performances in the final third of the season.
One of the best changing rooms and staff members I’ve worked with…
Benning told the media: “We’ve been hit with a lot of adversity this year to be honest, with injuries, what happened to the gaffer (Darrell Clarke), but that’s one thing that’s brought us all together.
“If I’m being honest, (it is) one of the best changing rooms and staff members I’ve worked with, the way we’ve dealt with that, them setbacks.
“But, the gaffer has come back in, it’s very unfortunate what’s happened, and the lads have rallied around him, but he’s back to his usual self and he’s keeping it calm and collected, ready for the weekend.”
