[Woody1985]

How long is vieira likely to be on the pitch?

That's my main interest! My granda was disappointed at no sauzee as that's what he was looking forward to.

I'm taking the girlfriends 5 year old to this as her first hibs game. Hopefully ease her in and get her out of the hun clutches of her brother!

[Westie1875]

Delighted (and surprised Mick McCarthy has allowed it) that Steven Fletcher is coming back for this, be good to see him in the green again. :greengrin

[Billy Whizz]

It's magic that wee Russell is playing!!!

[bigstu]

should be a good day :thumbsup:

[dirtydirk]

No chance of big Frank coming to play I take it???! I reckon he would double the attendance

[Woody1985]

It's magic that wee Russell is playing!!! :agree:Hopefully more than 5 minute cameo and ripping vieira, if they're on different teams of course.

[frazeHFC]

Missing it. :rolleyes:

[Danderhall Hibs]

£15 for a bounce match?! Vieira must be costing a fortune.

[Hibernia Na Eir]

no Keith Keith??

Andy Goram? good gk for Hibs, just hope he keeps his mouth shut.

[Woody1985]

£15 for a bounce match?! Vieira must be costing a fortune. It's to make the low % of charity donations look more generous.:tee hee:

[Albion Hibs]

Would not think Viera would be coming all the way up to play for 5 mins, I would think he would be playing the whole game, it is not like he will be struggling for fitness. Cant wait to see him in a Hibs strip, Captain of the invincibles in the green and white!

Taking along my nephew, will be his first game and dont think there will be many, if any more chances for him to see the likes of Latapy, Boozy, Fletch, O'Neil, Goram....other than when I get p"ssed at xmas and crack out the DVD collection...no where near the same. Cant wait!

[bob12345]

I guess this means Fletch is already resigned to now being involved with the Scotland double header :(

Looking forward to see Jimmy Boco. one of my favourite players. :aok:

[Last Minute]

Has Sauzee been asked ? if so, and it was no, what was his reason

[Calvin]

What is Viera defying to play? :greengrin

I was swithering about this but the list of players is enticing me to go.

[chrisski33]

Since when was chris hogg a hibs legend? ;-)

[big-mo]

no Keith Keith??

Andy Goram? good gk for Hibs, just hope he keeps his mouth shut.

Keith, Keith, Keith will be playing, sorry, missed off list of players.

Spoke to Jason tonight, he got the call to play this afternoon and is delighted.

[.Whitey.]

I am so excited to be playing against the Hibs Heroes team! What sort of attendance do you think we will get for this match?

[Frazerbob]

Since when was chris hogg a hibs legend? ;-)

Since he was a member of a cup winning team maybe?

[ManBearPig]

What a selection of players!! gutted no Le God though.

Looking forward to watching heroes vs fans game as well.

Should be a good day out!!

Apart from Sauzee the only other fans favourite to not make it must be Deek. Gutted,.

Frank is God for one. :greengrin

[J-C]

Gordon Smart from the Sun told me on twitter that he may be pulling boots on for the testimonial, decent player when he was younger, until a bad injury. He's coming up for the derby, going to the game with Kano.

I'm now convinced. Jimmy, jimmy jimmy boco! :flag:

[Makaveli]

The line-ups look great :agree:

How was the distinction between legend and hero decided though? Most are obvious but for me Yogi is more of a legend than Hogg or Tweed, and I'd put Weir/Tortolano ahead of Evans.

I would have loved to see Zitelli/Paco/Mixu playing again.

[Lucius Apuleius]

Frank is God for one. :greengrin

Who is he?

[big-mo]

Yet another player has confirmed that he will be playing in the Testimonial game.

OOOOOH ZEMMAMA.........http://www.hibs.net/images/smilies/thumbs%20up.gif

Yes, Merouane Zemmama will also be joining the ranks of the Hibs Legends playing in Ian's testimonial game.



And for all that have been asking, Yes, Franck has been asked to play but has not as yet replied.

[Newhaven]

Spoke to Jason tonight, he got the call to play this afternoon and is delighted.

Slight digression but he used to work in the old snooker hall at the bottom of the walk? :confused:

[tamig]

£15 for a bounce match?! Vieira must be costing a fortune.

You aren't being serious surely? £15 is great value for some of the players on show. And I don't think many players ask for money to play in testimonials these days. Is Vieira not big mates with Jimmy? I'm sure he'll have got him involved.

[Mary Hinge]

Any chance of moving the games back a couple of weeks ?

I'm flying out to Turkey on the 2nd and the wife's not up for moving the holiday :fuming:

Totally agree mate. I cant believe folk are still rattling on about price. Lets be honest what was the other night £10 to watch a third division team? and folk still have an issue about getting the chance to watch some of our legendary players over the recent years play in the green and white again, along with cup winning players, and footballing legends like Viera, all for a great occassion for the club. In addition the 7 aside match before is also filled with some great players and a chance for us to see them play again, and the younger generation for the first time. Alas a 90 min game and a 60 min (?) game, seems like a day out and very good value for money. Lets not forget charity will also be benefiting.

Bash on, lets get a good win this weekend and have a great celebration next weekend!

Rattling on? I've mentioned it once!

How much of my £15 goes to charity?

[tamig]

There's plenty justgiving sites (then even more of your cash goes to the charity) and official charity sites around these days if you're really that concerned :rolleyes:

[blackpoolhibs]

I dont think its wrong to ask just how much will be going to charity, do you?:confused:

[marinello59]

I dont think its wrong to ask just how much will be going to charity, do you?:confused:

It is a fair enough question but not one I think will be answered until the final totals are in. Which is also fair.

[blackpoolhibs]

I'd have thought they would have said what the percentage would be?

[marinello59]

I'd have thought they would have said what the percentage would be?

Unless they have a minimum figure in mind which could increase according to the total income. Who knows?

[blackpoolhibs]

Yip nobody knows, and to be fair it does not affect me anyway as i wont be there. I was, as a few others seem to be interested in just how much was going to charity?

[down-the-slope]

fair play to JC & Yogi for not letting their recent managerial stints affect their willingness to play....JC still loking fitter than the proverbial butchers Dug too :greengrin

extra dosh for 6 pack flash :rolleyes:


:wink:

[Beefster]

It's the question which must not be answered.

[Danderhall Hibs]

It's the question which must not be answered.

Not only is it the question that must not be answered, it's the question that must not be asked!

I didn't realise that noone knew and I would cause offence by asking! Although the gadge up above did say it's a better percentage than a Just Giving website so maybe he knows the split?

Players like Nial Quinn told everyone that all the proceeds from his testimonial was going to charity, a local hospital if my memory serves me right, there's been others too. Jamie Carregher set up a foundation cant remember what for,with the proceeds of his, with all the proceeds going towards that.

[big-mo]

The Testimonial Committee can now announce that in addition to Patrick Vieria playing for Hibs in the match, Robert Pires has now also agreed to play.
Pires has played 79 times for France and was also a World Cup and Euro winner.


All Sponsorship and Hospitality Packages are SOLD OUT for the game however a limited amount of VIP Tickets are available for the Edinburgh Suite

A free prize draw for all VIP ticket holders will be made on the day with the winner receiving a Hibs strip signed by Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires and Ian Murray

Tickets priced £30 are available from Hibs Ticket Office / Clubstore or by phoning 0844 844 1875 OPTION 2

[lucky]

Still think less than 4000 will show. If Sauzee comes then it will be over 10000. Vieira and Pires were decent players in there time but are well past there best and have no link with hibs

:top marks

[southfieldhibby]

Sounds like a decent line up being sorted, but does Murray really deserve a testimonial? I've always thought 10 years unbroken service is how you get one, not letting your contract run down, leaving on a free to an arch-rival, giving the finger to Hibbys, then returning when no-one else would offer you more money.

I like Murray fwiw and thought him and Stack were the only ones who got pass marks yesterday, but he's not worth a testimonial.

[Albion Hibs]

A great player, currently without a club, so here is hoping he does not care about money and absolutly loves the stadium! Well done to the committee, I used to have a soft spot for arsenal so seeing another one of the invincibles in the green in white will be magic.

[.Whitey.]

I think it will be a great day out - plus we are guaranteed to see a hibs team win :greengrin well woth the £15
