Think Gary Kelly at Leeds was the first, but only just before Quinn.Didn’t he set the precedent for donating the proceeds to charity?

Rag ;-)The first testimonial I attended was actually for a United player- Billy Foulkes at Old Trafford. They played a City side in Nov 1970 and I attended with a couple of school pals(I was 14 at the time).
I don't remember much about the actual match,all I can remember is running skirmishes with United fans all along Chester Road back into town,windows being smashed and mounted police keeping rival fans apart.
And this was supposed to be a friendly match!!!
What about it ;)What about Bert Trautmann`s ?
King Colin Bellsorry if this has been covered elsewhere... but what other players in the last 30years have had testimonials ?
I can only think of Lakey

I personally wont go to a testimonial, prefer the type of send off zabba got and yaya.
back in the day it was a golden hand shake for the player, i remember going to joe corrigans testimonial donkeys years ag. But players these days get one of those every week with high wages.
if anybody in the last 30 years has deserved his own night it would be Vinny though.
