Ben Mee's Gr Grandad said to Bill Shankley

Post by IanMcL » Mon Nov 06, 2023 10:25 pm

Is Ben Mee related to Bertie Mee?

Ben Mee is the great Grandson of former Arsenal Manager, Bertram "Bertie" Mee.

Had no idea!

He must have chuckled when he heard us sing!

Is this actually true, because the only thing I can find are stories from spurious websites?

I think Bertie Mee had two daughters and if they followed convention then any children would not be a Mee. As Bertie was born in 1918 it is most unlikely his daughters would have had children out of wedlock. My guess is that Ben does not have a famous great grandfather

Does this mean that Bertie Bee is Bertie Mee’s love child ? ;)

I've never fully understood the relationship between Bertie, Bella, and the late Bumble. Are they related, or just good friends?

In this modern age I wouldn’t be surprised if Bumble had been away all these years in order to transition to Bella
