Oh what a night that was

[Stantons Angel]

Attended Lewis's testimonial dinner last night and would just like to thank the organisers for arranging a brilliant night in honour of our longest serving plsyer.

I make no excuse in saying Lewis is a big favorite of mine and thoroughly deserves all the accolades he is getting.

Last night 950 people gathered to show him homage and to celebrate his 10years with Hibs.

This was a huge organisational project for the committee to have taken on, but they did and how well did they do it.

The atmosphere built up all night until the Proclaimers took to the stage to entertain us with many of their hit songs. Sunshine on Leith belted out good style!

The meal was excellent and the service staff where amazing. The excellent online auction raised over £52,000 of which Lewis insists the 50% goes equally to two charities.

In all an excellent night was had by all concerned. Those on the committee should be proud of their work to salute Lewis. Well done to you all!

Sounded brilliant. I know I am behind a bit but has any announcement been made re testimonial football match and when? Or any rumours?

Given popularity and feel good factor you have to think it would bring in a lot of fans.

I had another 7 of my family,including my parents,(my dad is 81) and we all had a brilliant night. Bonus was I was the only red wine drinker at our table which ment I had two bottles for myself. Happy days !

Not a chance of that happening!

He did a Q&A with Grant Stott

The whole event was run superbly. Nearly a thousand people fed and watered without a hitch. Thought the management and staff did a great job and they were very attentive. Also the security staff were very respectful to the guests something our stewards at ER could learn from.

A more modest man you are unlikely to meet in LS. Deserves a big crowd for the game when it comes around.

What players made it..?

[ben johnson]

I only saw Paul Hanlon and managed to have a very quick hello with David David Gray. ! Just a great buzz about Hibs at the moment Long may it last.

[Craig_HFC]

What players made it..?

David Gray, Liam Fontaine, Paul Hanlon, Darren McGregor, Martin Boyle, Dylan McGeouch, Jordon Forster, Alex Harris & Danny Handling.

Kevin Thomson, Scott Robertson & Liam Craig were there too.

Oh and Lewis, obviously.

Fantastic night, one of the best. For David Gray, who was there, the highlight was having me shake his hand and thanking him for you know what. Thank you, thank you, thank you.:greengrin

Looked like an epic night! The proclaimers as well, that's a gig in itself

[Alex Trager]

Any videos?

Looked a cracking night! Jealous, hugely jealous!

Who was that older boy on stage?

Was he commentating on the final or something? It seemed that way?

He sang Nessun Dorma with the goals from the Final being played on the big screens. It was class.

The bloke sang Nessun Dorma over a video (Green Goblin's maybe?). Had me in bits.

Brilliant Craig thanks

[Alex Trager]

Really like that Hibs song.

Any other videos of the speaking or the boy singing ND?

Class

If Lewis made a speech he then became a participant and he would then been taxed on funds raised.

[WeAreHibs]

Was an amazing night, one of the best ever. The organisers should be very proud of the whole event.

Lewis and his wife are lovely people, thoroughly deserved and a fantastic achievement.

[FranckSuzy]

It was a fantastic night and I am glad my video message was played at the start of the night so I could then relax :greengrin :embarrass

I spoke to Lewis, and thanked him for his extremely generous gesture, but it's probably a measure of the man that he said thank you me for all I'm doing for children :not worth Hibs class indeed :thumbsup:
