I think with Testimonials they were a way for the Player to get one last pay off before probable retirement in the days of earning £50 quid a week.

I definitely think he deserves one though, maybe a Charity match.

2016 League Winning team v Today's with Claudio Managing the impossibles?

Ooo ya beaster that is an epic idea. Make it happen True 👍

Isn’t he at the end of his contract this summer?

But yes, he should have had a testimonial, and it probably should have been this summer. But, you know, circumstances.

Yes, definitely should have a testimonial.

Probably not in the very near future though. It might lose some of its intent in an empty stadium.

Yes, a foxes voice, he should have been given a testimonial. I echo all your sentiments but I’m sure there are a good many ex-City players who also didn’t get one for whatever reason. I’m not in a position to be able to name them right now, but perhaps I’ll check it out.

Hi downsouf, no need to be so formal, I'm generally known as AFV on here.

Please do check it out, I'd be very interested in the result of that. I can't think of any in my memory period

I spent a little time looking things up foxy. This is far, far from the “finished article” and there must be countless others to consider and I shall continue my quest. Needless to say, they all thoroughly deserved it. On the negative side I never got to see a single testimonial match.

Hi Downsouf, I went to both Mark Wallingtons and Steve Walsh's testimonials

I recall attending lenny glovers?
@ filbert Street in late 70s??

Surely Conrad is in line for one?

Conrad fits the criteria but, as someone said, he'd spend the game on the bench.

Remember going to a few of those listed but can't remember which one Shilton played up front.

Good to hear from you Dublin - was wondering how you are doing?
