Ben May (born on March 10, 1984 in Gravesend Kent) is an English professional footballer who currently plays for League One side Millwall as a striker.

May developed through Millwall's youth academy after starting his career at Fulham. In August 2002, May made his first-team debut against Gillingham. He scored his first senior goal the following week against Ipswich Town. He made several more appearances for Millwall that season, and he had a loan spell at Colchester United.

May didn't play for the Millwall first team in 2003/2004 - instead, he went on loan to Brentford, scoring seven goals for them. The following season, he made eight appearances for Millwall, scoring one goal. He also scored twice in a second loan spell at Colchester United.

In 2005/2006, he became an established first-team regular, and ended the season as their top scorer with 11 goals. Millwall were relegated from the Championship that season, but May decided to stay at the club by signing a new two-year contract.

On January 17, 2007, England defender Glen Johnson and Ben May were caught at a B&Q store in Dartford, Kent attempting to steal bathroom fittings. They both received £80 fines.[1]
