AlbanyNYToffee Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hibbo and Osman already done. Duncan the most recent. Who's deserving of one? Jags, Cahill, Arteta, Baines (when he leaves), Tim Howard, Phil Neville, Rooney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was discretion of the club. 10 years service is the minimum criteria to be considered. I think the clubs still have the discretion to give you one or not.

MikeO Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Jags and Baines, that is all. Traditionally the games were done to give long serving players a decent wedge when they retired, not needed now with the wages they earn so they're purely symbolic with any cash earned going to charity.

I think you will find that players for lower leagues will still pocket the money from their testimonials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
