Ledley King - Testimonial

[True Yid]

Does anybody know when and who is likely to be there?

 

[Carlito Brigante]

I reckon I'll pop along.

Oh and its at the end of the season.

 

[Kris]

Rumours that its against Millwall. Now that would be eventful!

 

[SadlerTHFC]

Really Millwall?

 

[AlMacca_]

it'll be against another club that King is "close" with... Spurs v Spurs then?

 

[penpen]

Senrab F.C.?

 

[YidoBuckler]

Lol why would it be against Millwall.



I will most definitely attend providing I get myself a ticket.

 

[Kris]

Ledley King supported then as a boy & they're his local club.

I figured it might be against Madrid as it would add some serious flare, obviously though that would hinge on whether or not they're in the CL final.

Aside from the man himself, personally really hope to see Steffen play. When was our last home testimonial? Bill Nicholson?

 

[Smolik]

I heard it's gonna be against Botswana Meat Commission

Think it was for Gary Mabbutt against Newcastle years ago, might be wrong though

 

[Kris]

Gary Mabbutt's was at home to Newcastle wasn't it?

Ah I thought there was one in '01 for Bill. Mabutt would've been mid-1990s then?

 

[Kris]

1995

Turns out there was one in '01 for Sir Bill. That reads like it was a proper pre-season match as well though, not quite the same thing as the season began the following weekend. So this will be the first testimonial at the Lane for nearly 12 years. Good stuff.

Replace King with Bunjevcevic and they can be the opponents. We'd win about 15-0 using our current side alone.

Will it be hard to get tickets for this? Expensive?
