Lewis' Testimonial and the Scottish Cup

[Colognehibee]

Agree. Excellent idea. I mentioned in an email to Leeann. Lewis deserves a testimonial and I love the Proclaimers concept.

Could it be for Dnipro appeal or a charity of Lewis' choice?

Give it all to Lewis, he deserves every bit for having to put up with Hibs fans for 11 years

Lewis deserves to keep every penny and must NOT be pressured into giving any of it away to any charity, unless it is of his own volition and to a charity close to his own heart. The wee guy deserves to keep every penny in my eyes for his service and loyalty to the club.

Given that he's the only Hibs player to have won both the league and Scottish cup, surely for his testimonial we could get a 07 vs 16 cup winners game? Would be class

Thats actually a brilliant idea

McNeil, Whittaker, Brown, Benji? Fletcher, Buezlin, Zemamma, and McCann the only ones still playing football from 07?

Murphy retired - injury
Jones retired - age
Martis retured - age
Hogg retired - injury
Buezlin retired - age
Sproule retired - age

Im sure Ivan would come back

[jacomo]

Great idea.

But what do the fans do after the final whistle - invade the pitch or break into the South Stand?

[danhibees1875]

What a sensational idea!

Just please don't make it this July, I'm away all month!

McNeil, Whittaker, Hogg, Jones, Murphy, boozy, brown, sproule, zemama, benji and Fletcher

Vs

Logan, Gray, hanlon, Fontaine, McGregor, Stevenson , Mcginn, Mcgeogh,Fyvie, stokes and Cummings.

Get the likes of Riordan, Ian Murray, and Griffiths back in too for run outs and it would be a great day!

Pre season match to honour a magnificent servant and bring the Scottish cup out at ER??

Make it happen Hibs!!

Great idea, would be a great way to get the season going. Who to invite? Everton? Leicester? Rangers?

[Boyle89]

I'm getting aroused at the thought of this! Now any other suggestion just seems pointless! Please hibs make this happen👏.

I've always wondered why nobody has ever put a bid in for him. ...most of our players have been linked with some team over the years but in his entire hibs career I can't remember a single club

Motherwell were interested at some point but were told to bolt

Absolutely 100 percent with you on that and I really hope talk of charity is kept to a minimum. Easy for Premiership players on 100k a week to make that gesture but this is simply a chance to give a committed club servant a little bit of financial security and nothing else. Testimonials tend to be poorly attended in this day and age but hopefully Lewis would pull a decent crowd and now is as good a time as any. He is now a club legend and our only ever player to win both cups at Hibs.

All proceeds go towards the fine for invading the pitch at Hampden?

...and Wallace's hospital fees! Is he out the ICU or still in a coma? Might need a few extra donations to kit out his house to help him with "life after the event" - stair lifts, handrails round the bath etc

For a player of his Hibstorical importance and time served to not have been in receipt of a testimonial would be a travesty of justice.

Not only do I agree but "hibstorical importance" is my new favourite phrase, I hope you don't mind that I will be using that a lot with people from now on : )

Feel free. I've been using it for a while myself. Donno if I can lay claim to the word but think it's befitting of our magical club.

Could we not ask Leicester. 2 history making teams, home and away ties?

That is a great idea. They'll prob be in high demand for charity matches and testimonials now, but defo worth trying.

[Super_JMcGinn]

Great news guys, it has been confirmed Lewis has an official testimonial committee, details to be released soon.

[Super_JMcGinn]

Hi, I'm sorry I don't. Leeann replied to my email and she only told me he had a testimonial committee and details would be released in due course.

Why not send her an email, she is very good at responding. Good luck and tell Lewis from me he deserves everything he has coming
