A Hibernian FC Legends side will face Manchester United Legends in October for David Gray’s testimonial match.

To commemorate David’s magnificent career, a Manchester United Legends XI will come to Easter Road as we go back to where it all started for him.
There will be a star-studded team for the Hibernian FC side with David Gray lining up with some of his Scottish Cup winning teammates and some of the side that lifted the League Cup in 2007
The first two names on the teamsheet are former Hibs and Scotland legends Scott Brown and Steven Whittaker.

If someone doesn’t understand why this guy deserves special recognition then they don’t know much about this club. Oh for a time in the future when we can be blasé about winning the Scottish Cup.

In that time, he’s been a player, captain, galvanising influence, cup winning goal scorer and captain, coach, step-into-the-breach manager and never misses a chance to talk us up. Definitely deserving of a testimonial imho
Hope we get a decent crowd in for this. The man absolutely deserves it. Tenner a ticket should help.

A nice bit of irony that the event last night was hosted by a guy who’d wrote us off at half time vs hearts
Tbf to him he didn't try to hide from it and was pretty self deprecating.Quote:

Thoroughly enjoyed the night , Peter Martin was a funny host.
Good to see Fyvie , Stevenson , Hanlon , Fontaine , Stokesie up on the stage talking about SDG and the cup final win .
Jack Ross , Newell , Fish and a few more all singing his praises.
SDG is a gentleman came round posing for photos also signed Scottish Cup tattoo on some drunk Hibs fans leg and let them kiss the spot on his napper where he connected with the ball for that goal.:wink:
Nothing to do with the testimonial but the venue ran out of beer at 9 pm they did get more in but by that time we were on the vodka which is probably why very rough this morning.
Stokes was at the event?Quote:

Brilliant, and just hope he is still free to play in the testimonial game, be funny watching a prison guard running around handcuffed to Stoksey while on fire.Quote:

Enjoyed the night apart from the singer at the end. Took to him as much as I did with Johnson.
Really nice of John Doolan to make the effort and drive up, but ouch that was awkward his comment about SDG being a level above Liam Craig as captain, not realising Liam Craig was actually in attendance.
Welcome to the stage Will Fish soon to follow in David Gray’s footsteps by being released by Man Utd :greengrinQuote:

Lots of money raised at the auction with Martin funny and good at playing of the bidders against each other for the benefit of the fund.
Tickets for the night cost a few quid but we’ll worth it glad I was fortunate at the time to be able to afford it and be part of a great night.:flag::flag:
My kid is due to come out late September, if she's not too late I might try and go.
Nobody minds these days, just let her get on with it, i'ts no biggie now. :wink:Quote:
