Indeed, it's a tad odd.

Anyway, the tickets are pretty cheap and it should be a good day out. I'm sure everyone who goes along will have a great time.

I hope and presume he will be here next year. Testimonial typically take place after 10 years at a club. Lewis and Paul both waited the 10 years it just seems odd that SDG is having a mid season testimonial before it would be traditionally held.

Can't help but always being really impressed listening to Darren Fletcher.

That was a good watch 👍 interesting on the fish comments, maybe we can get a few more players in the future from United.

I understand some people can't make it but if you can please go along for SDG.

As many have said he scored the winner in a Scottish final for Hibs, I never thought I would see the day never mind with my father.

I think it’s a good selection of players for both teams

United have some big names in their team and those that have played at a really high level.

The Hibs team is brilliant too and contains a lot of favourites!

I also look forward to seeing Ravel Morrison as I fully expect us to sign him after he rips it up 🤣

Absolutely. He's given his all for Hibs, has been a wonderful ambassador for the club and deserves this recognition IMO. Surprised anyone's quibbling about it.

With fans left kicking their heels by the international break it's also a great opportunity for a well-priced family day out at the football.

It’s surprising as if a player ever deserved a sell out it’s SDG

I’ll be going but haven’t bought my ticket yet. Most of my crowd, who would all normally go to this, are away for the Scotland double header.

SDG spoke very well ,seems a really humble guy too . Not that I'm in any rush for Monty to go though I think SDG could very well be a good choice to take over from Monty .

A great watch. I'll never, ever tire of listening to him talk about that goal. Was fortunate enough to be at HTC not long after the cup win for a .net Q and A with SDG and McGregor and was totally starstruck.

From BBC ......

“It was the greatest moment of my football career if not my life. I remember I was breathing heavily at that point. I was absolutely knackered because I’d done a bit of pressing just before it.

“It was the 91st minute, we won the ball back for a throw-in at half way, threw it quickly so we broke and then I remember thinking ‘can you get up for this corner here?’
“But I do remember vividly walking up and setting it up because we had talked about how big an opportunity set pieces were. Rangers had lost a lot of goals and we had boys that were willing to go and put their head on it.
“With Hendo just coming on and his delivery, as soon as the ball left Hendo’s foot I knew I was getting it. It took quite a bit of time to come in but when I watch it back. I actually think they should do better. I don’t think I should get it. The defender should clear it. But as soon as I got my head on it I knew the contact was good and that I had scored.
“From there I think I did six celebrations in one! I just ran away and the thing I do remember is referee Steven McLean apologising to me and saying ‘sorry I need to book you’.
“I was like, ‘no problem!’ You can see I don’t really know what I’m doing. I remember looking at the advertising board thinking ‘I’m not getting over that’ so I kept running to a gap in the corner. I was like a horse out the stable!
“I saw someone in the crowd and just ran to them. I don’t know why. I had never scored a goal since I went to Hibs so I hadn’t thought about what I was going to do. I never touched the ball again in the game. I’ll be forever grateful for the opportunity to be part of that occasion.”

I remember Hibs fans hopefully holding up a "Time for Heroes" banner before kick off.

David Gray heard the call and became that Hero.

Get along to Easter Road on Sunday. It's pay back time.

Great response to ticket appeal, 130 tickets distributed so far, could still use another 10 or so if anyone feels like contributing, thanks everyone

I found that a bit strange too, how did he forget his strike to open the scoring in the 4-0 v the same opposition? 🤔

I think what is printed in that article is wrong. They’ve copied it from the Hibee Buzz interview and what he actually said was that he hasn’t scored a goal before he signed for Hibs. They actually spent time speaking about his goal at Ibrox.

Hard to read that without getting emotional...again. What a moment in time. Don't think I'll ever stop feeling that way about it.
