When ever I see his name I think of a friendly match at Faversham we followed Bentley with another player as he walked off the pitch at the end of the match. I don't know what their conversation was about but Bentley said " I don't do running anymore " we laughed about this ever since as he was still playing for the Gills side.

Really good pro for us who I've got nothing but fond memories of.
Good to see he's moved into management

I must say I did not realise that he was player/manager. Good luck to him

I was surprised he's still only 37. It seems like ages ago and he was right gillsjan, he didn't do running anymore...

Always a 100%er and never gave a game up until the final whistle blew. You never got less than an honest performance from Mark and this story typifies him.

Thinking about this a few seasons ago the Gills website use to do an update on past players which I thought was very interesting. I often look on line to see what certain players are up to. I would like to see this again on the gills site.
