| Quote Puig-Aubert="Puig-Aubert"You're right though I bet the level of interest (and funds) has probably declined over the years if only because the novelty factor has worn off. How many years before Frannie to the previous one?'"
Given the level of player turnover during the late 80s and through the 90s I'd be surprised if anyone stuck around long enough to get one.

I honestly can't think of who it will have been though I have a very vague recollection of Dave Creasser? Possibly.

JH will probably be right.
With Creasser I had a vague recollection of him having a testimonial but it seeming odd as he'd hardly played for years. May well be wrong though.

| Quote El Diablo="El Diablo"How many consecutive years have there been testimonials now? I recall only a couple missing since 2003:
2003 - Cummins
2004 - Nobody?
2005 - Barrie Mac
2006 - Nobody?
2007 - Senior
2008 - Sinfield
2009 - JJB
2010 - Diskin
Anybody add to this or correct me?
It does show impressive continuity in the squad.'"
Obviously wasnt a testimonial but didnt Poching have a tribute game in 2006? Or have I made that up? I hope not because im sure I went to it. And with all due respect I dont want to turn into Mr McField just yet, forgetting games and everything.

Forgetting games ?
I've lost an entire year - 1972 definitely didn't happen for me.

| Any news on Disco's testimonal shirt yet (i assume he's having one?)
I've not seen/heard anything and bearing in mind its less than 3 weeks to his big game i'd assume his shirt would be on sale 1st week in the New Year?
Anyone any pics they can leak?

| BigRob the Poaching game that you was on about was also the Cravendale Festive Game on Boxing Day 2006 as a final game before he retired. IIRC

Ah that could be it, cheers. It's pleasing that someone else remembers it and I haven't gone totally insane just yet.

If Keith's is anything to go by then I hope not. At least we know why it's not Dolce & Senior.

| aren't the testimonials a throwback to the days when players were skint @ the end of their careers & often on winning/losing pay rather than lucrative contracts.
Does any sl player need one these days & much less premier league footballers

| Players who stay loyal to one club often forego lucrative signing on fees & arguably lower salaries than if they move around.
As has been debated ad nauseam these events are an opportunity for fans to reward loyalty.
If you don't agree with it don't go.
Simples.
