He s now part of the staff preparing the pitch for the FA Cup final I was just doing my job, Ben Kay tells FIFA.com
Ben Kay was lying on the ground at Chorley’s Victory Park at 4:00am on 9 January. It was minus-2 degrees. Wearing exactly what he came into work with the day before and covered with an M&M’s-designed fleece blanket, according to the man himself, he was simply doing his job.
But he is selling himself short.
