That is one of the most generous acts that I have ever heard of in all my life. When you consider it against the money he earns and the uncertainty of finding a living once he retires, it is truly astonishing.
It says so so much about Lewis as a person never mind what he has given to our club.
The term legend is used too easily but no-one deserves it more than Lewis.

Love the man. Hibernian legend. Enjoy him while he is here, the lows he’s been through with us. He’s deserved all the success he’s got. Top man.

Absolutely terrific from Lewis.
And this £40k donation is not all - he has also supported other good causes and will continue to do so.
A real club legend.

In today's game Lewis stands alone in possessing that rarest of all commodities - loyalty !. He's everything that's good in the game - he shows the fans that there's still players who genuinely care and love the club they play for, inspires our young-players by being the perfect example of what can be achieved if you're prepared to work hard - in short, one of our greatest-ever signings !

Everything about this young man has made me proud to have him as Hibby from the very start.
it takes all sorts of characters and styles to make a team and he's certainly up there whenever I think of all time great Hibernians.

We're extremely lucky to have had a man of such quality and class to have played for this club for as long as he has. Embodies everything you want in a role model both on the field and off it. I really do hope we name something, anything, after him when he leaves. Club Legend.

I said exactly this earlier. If I had made it as a pro footballer I’d have wanted to be thought of by my teams fans in the exact same way as Lewis Stevenson is thought of by us. As much of a Hibernian legend as anyone.

Ive seen some great players at Hibs, sauzee, latapy, Collins, Goram etc. But for me Lewis is far more legendary. He's been with us through everything. He always gives us 100%. And he has two major medals. Originally Posted by calumhibee1

I agree with this - not the best player I’ve seen , and he would admit that himself- but for his generation he is my favourite Hibs player of this time - great pro and great man. Proud that he is a Hibee. Originally Posted by judas

In an era of overpaid prima donnas idolised by youngsters who see them on the telly, which sensible Hibby parent wouldn't say to their boy: "Be like Lewis"?

There is a lot of things written about football players, especially about unsavioury behaviour off the field.
This however is proof that they are some diamonds in the game.
Undoubtedly a model professional on and off the pitch.
Well done to Lewis, his testimonial committee and all the Hibs Supporters who attended the Testimonial Match and Dinner.

I have never had the pleasure of personally being in his company but from what I've read about him, Lewis Stevenson is not only a credit to the club but he's also a credit to his family.
He absolutely deserves all the good things that happen to him in his life and we will be a much poorer club without Lewis Stevenson representing us, whenever that actually happens.
Such a wonderfully selfless individual, who is always thinking about those less fortunate than himself.
The world could do with a few more Lewis Stevensons, that's for sure.

Lewis might only be 5 foot 8, but he's a giant of a man. If young players at Hibs are looking for a role model, they need look no further than Lewis.
To donate such a sum to charity when his playing days are drawing to a close is a remarkable gesture. It's guys like Lewis who counter-balance all that's wrong in the game in recent times.
So proud to have you as a Hibs icon Lewis

We talk about Hibs class, but Lewis class is a step above even that.
Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

He is the perfect human.
Retiring his shirt number when he retires would be a nice touch, as would him becoming a youth coach at the club as he is the perfect role model for any young player.PERSEVERE

The epitome of the word ‘professional’, a humble, talented, young man who has had a long line of critics over his years (unfairly imo), but has never once given any sign of complaint or criticism of his club or its fans, has never given us as fans or the club any reason to feel let down by him (unlike some of his higher profile colleagues), and has been a credit to the club, his family, and himself. Watching him at the end of his testimonial, how touched and humbled he looked, said it all about him.
lewis is a gem, and I sincerely hope he will finish out his playing career with Hibs, before moving into a long coaching career with us. Above all of that though, I hope he does what makes him happy.
Well done Lewis, a touch of class in a long line of them, from a classy guy who I am happy has represented our club with dignity and humility.

Remember the "written in the stars" stuff in 2012?
Lewis's number has long been number sixteen - sixteen being the year we won the cup and him becoming the only man to every win both the league cup and Scottish cup in the green and white.
Destiny.
Having said that, can he now change his number to "18" just in case there's something in it...
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Lots of highlights from yesterday’s game but there was a Lewis moment in the first half that I liked.
He took the ball in the centre-half position (he’s obviously lining up a wee positional shift for himself, the Kirkcaldy Cannavaro) and sold a Dons player a massive dummy then moved the ball forward. Seconds later the ball’s in the attacking third and Lewis is in position as an attacking left-back, showing for the ball and offering width deep in their half.
There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

He was everywhere in the 1st half, as he had no one to take care of with GMS on the left and when GMS changed at half time Lewis showed the superb defensive qualities that nullified GMS and got him subbed.
