Southampton Football Club is delighted to announce that it has agreed to host a testimonial match for long-serving captain Kelvin Davis at the end of the 2015/16 season.
To celebrate the goalkeeper’s ten-year spell at St Mary’s, the current Saints side will take on the Promotions Eleven – a select squad made up of those who represented the club in its consecutive promotion-winning campaigns of 2010/11 and 2011/12.
The match, which is being organised by Davis’s testimonial committee, will take place at St Mary’s on the evening of Tuesday 17th May – two days after the Barclays Premier League season ends.
Epic news and what a perfect theme. Will be fantastic to see some of the old faces back; a double celebration if you will.
Kelvin’s been a loyal servant through thick and thin - and probably deserves this for Leeds away alone.
Invites to all of the big names from that period, very deliberately leaving out Lallana, would be delicious.
I’ve got a sneaking suspicion he will be there though, as that group was pretty tight knit. I’d be up for a few minutes of abuse (to get it out of the system) and then not letting it overshadow the occasion.
Considering the esteem he’s held in by the club, I wouldn’t be so sure. I suspect Les Reed would wipe his arse on the invitation before sending it off.
Honestly don’t know we don’t bring Rickie back home. He doesn’t improve on the first XI, but would always have the backing of the fans when called upon. Would be good for him to finish his career here, maybe impart a bit more knowledge on JWP.
