Final Test Event

yep, a modern day greats with some cult heroes would be brilliant. maybe a ocuple of celebrity fans like Bellew.

tbh given our lack of success in the premier league era, you're gonna need some fairly steady players too in all honesty to bulk out the numbers

it obviously depends on who fancies it and is fit enough to play but looking at players from the premier league era in general would be great as you wont get enough out of just Coleman/Baines's team mates who are retired and 'worthy' of a legends game.

The fan favourites you mentioned under Moyes would be brilliant but you also need around 30 players for this kind of thing as most wont be able to play 90 mins

a few more suggestions per manager/era

Moyes: Coleman, Baines, Howard, Arteta, Jagielka, Cahill, Pienaar, Osman, Distin, Yobo, Carsley, Kilbane, Hibbert, Neville, Yak, Saha, Fellaini, Weir, Stubbs, Dunc, Victor, Vaughan, Rodwell, Gosling

Martinez: Barry, Mirallas, Deulofeu, Lukaku (latter depending on whether this is during the season or early pre season)

Smith: Hutchison, Gough, Ball, Dunne, Pembridge, Unsworth

Cult players: Rooney, Donovan, Stracqurlisi, Fernandes, Oviedo, Jelavic, McFadden

I imagine the likes of Tony Bellew would probably fancy a run out too, you can't seem to keep him out of this stuff

Just please please please don't give StillRyan a game. Have him creating content, that is inevitable. But please don't put him on the pitch with this lot.

No Graveson?

FA cup final day Saturday 17 May 2025 (or the day after) might be a good time for it.

absolutely, just couldnt remember every player from the last 30 years off my head whilst posting this in work

I imagine they will do some behind closed doors, along with a lot of the players training their to get used to the pitch, when I went the first test event you could see the pitch was wider which gives more options for teams who like a pass and move game, compared to goodison which is narrower and more tight.

We could go all Walter Smith and make the pitch smaller in the summer.

on the same day/weekend as the southampton game? …

Better yet, let’s move the Southampton game to the new stadium. This way, more people will be able to be there. More people will be able to experience the occasion.

Job done.
