Ticket News Maher Testimonial Match - Fri 16th May - Maher XI v Premier League Legends

[Jai]

Will be going along with several others but haven't got round to buying tickets yet. Looking at hospitality potentially.

Couldn't care less who will be on the field. Could be a Sunday League side for all I care. If I am still lucky enough to be alive in 40 years time I expect I will still be waiting for someone to have the positive impact on my club that Kevin Maher has had.

SOUTHEND United boss Kevin Maher will be having his long-awaited testimonial at Roots Hall later this month.

Could have at least invited CR7 he missing out having not scored goal here ,ROONEY also ,and Fergie as their manager

 

[Colchester and proud!]

2 ex Col U in the prem side, Kevin Watson and Johnnie Jackson should be a great night for everyone.

 

[Holy Joe]

Joining Maher in the Shrimpers squad will be Darryl Flahavan, Mark Gower, Che Wilson, Adam Barrett, Leo Roget, Lee Barnard, Jason Demetriou, Mark Bentley, Duncan Jupp, Darren Currie, Alan McCormack, Chris Powell Andy Edwards and Matt Harrold.

Yes, Johnnie is a very good friend of Kevin's. They go way back to having been at Spurs together albeit a couple of years apart in age.

Doesn't look like many tickets sold for this yet, disappointing given its less than two weeks away. Can't help but think the organisation of it has been more style than substance... would have been good to have announced most of the players by this stage to get more people buying - hopefully we see a larger uptake once tomorrow is out of the way!

Bit underwhelmed by the prem team but will be great to see so many ex blues

I'll be there and if I'm not ill still buy a ticket regardless.

Kevin Watson and Kevin Maher were at Spurs at the same time too, although Kevin Watson is a bit older, Johnnie joined Spurs about the same time Kevin Maher left!

They did overlap though, Johnnie is my husband's cousin.

I was at Johnnie's debut for Spurs, now he's a manager. How the hell did that happen??!!

 

[Tommy2holes]

Such a shame Stan isnt playing.

He would have definitely put bums on seats

Yes Johnnie was probably a youth player at that stage.

Be good to see The Goat there

Good call

Although I have no hope of attending I am more than happy to contribute to the cause by buying some tickets. If I did that would it be possible to find someone to pass them on to someone deserving who might want to go to the match?
I know I could just buy the tickets and then not turn up but it does seem a better outcome if they were to be used. However, I appreciate that is making work for others and it might just be too hard to organise.

That sir, is a very kind hearted offer. If I remember correctly, The Shrimpers Trust were inviting less advantaged folk to games, who might otherwise not be able to afford to go. Maybe @Medway Blue or @Liam AAS might be able to help.
