From one Mason to another, The Ram sat down for an exclusive interview with Mason Bennett ahead of Derby County’s meeting with Ipswich Town under the Pride Park Stadium floodlights.
Spanning six pages, we spoke to the Academy product – who has drawn great praise from Frank Lampard since his appointment as manager – about the aftermath of his historic debut as a 15-year-old, his motivations to be successful in the game, bouncing back from injury and the best moment of his Rams career so far.
As ever, The Ram will be jam-packed with news and features and retails at just £3 from around Pride Park Stadium.
Here’s a brief review of what else you can expect from our #DCFCvITFC edition of The Ram…
