This is the status he put on Facebook about half an hour ago...

iv just met Dean Saunders and hes weve set a challenge. DonnY Rovers get promoted and i ditch the crutches and then we walk onto the pitch together on the last match. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN TO ME

Be fantastic if both worked out!

[bigbadjack]

That would be amazing

[Drover]

Excellent,Ben's my Hero.Love the guys determination.

All the other guys n gals in the forces are too. 

[DearneValleyRover]

Come on Rovers! Let's get promoted and help Ben off those crutches, top bloke.

[Chris Black come back]

What a sight that would be, eh?

[DRFC-PERKINS]

The thought has given me goosebumps, what a guy!

[MachoMadness]

Now this is a story... shows you that football isn't a completely lost cause yet! It would be fantastic, what an inspiring bloke he is. You couldn't make it up.

Ben is an absolute hero and a massive inspiration to everyone. He makes me proud to say I'm from Doncaster.
He should help us be united together as the rovers family we should be - get behind the team, roar them on to promotion and fill the keepmoat to see Ben walk on to the pitch to see an example of true greatness!
Well done Ben your story helps put everything else into perspective

[Leebtyler]

if this isn't all over the website tomorrow its a crying shame! what a great story, front page headlines all over the country and some fantastic Pr for the club.

,I don't give a toss if we don't get promoted if you ditch those crutches and walk onto that pitch

[donnyallday]

Wel, that sentence has actually brought a tear to my eye

God  Bless you Ben.

[bigbadjack]

Can you imagine... There wouldn't be a dry eye in the place

[Bristol Red Rover]

Surely all other league 1 clubs will do their bit for this 

[Chris Black come back]

Often see Ben and I think his step dad at the Keepmoat. Sits in SE corner area I seem to remember.

[Sammy Chung was King]

This is a fella i really admire,true grit and determination,when they get on about sportsmen being heroes,what rubbish,this fella and everyone of our servicemen and women old and new deserve to get into any club in the land for nothing,people like Ben and the rest are what makes our country Great!!!

[Yargo]

Fantastic project for both,will our "media team" be up to publicizing this or continue in his old ways?

[WorcestershireDan]

What a talisman, courage,fortitude and sheer guts are an example to us all.

i`m confident the lads will do their very best to make Ben`s hopes happen.

Win lose or draw I believe we are all RTID
