Kampusbet  ~   " West Ham grant club captain Mark Noble testimonial match as he closes in on 350th appearance "

Agen MaxbeT  ~   West Ham have announced that club captain Mark Noble has been awarded a testimonial match.

The Hammers skipper has played almost 350 matches for the club, and will run out at Upton Park for the match, which will be contested by the Irons and a West Ham all-star side, on Easter Monday 28 March 2016 at 2pm. 

All proceeds from the fixture will be donated to charity. It will be a final opportunity for may fans to see some of their heroes from yesteryear on the Boleyn Ground turf.

Noble, who first joined the club as a 13-year-old, says he can't wait for the match.

“I am hugely honoured and grateful that the Board have awarded me a Testimonial match at the Boleyn Ground,” Noble said.

This is where I come from and this is my Football Club, so I can think of nothing better than having my Testimonial at the stadium where I have laughed, cheered and cried, both as a fan and as a player.

“Everyone knows how much West Ham United means to me, so to have the opportunity to share a pitch with the players who I have grown up with will be fantastic – and it will be even more special to have my family, friends and so many Hammers fans watching from the stands.

Joint-chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan have hailed Noble's contribution to the claret and blue over the years, and say he fully deserves the recognition.

Mark is the modern-day ‘Mr West Ham’, so it was natural that he would be granted a Testimonial at the end of what will be his 12th season as a member of the first-team squad,” they said.

“Mark has been a tremendous servant to West Ham United both on the field and off it and this Testimonial match is recognition of the long and dignified career he has enjoyed in a Claret and Blue shirt.

“It is a mark of the man that he will donate all the proceeds from this match to three charities that mean so much to him and to everyone at the Club.

“The match has been scheduled for the afternoon of Easter Monday, meaning fans of all ages can come along to the Boleyn Ground and see some of their heroes in action one last time.

"We are sure Mark and his Testimonial Committee will ensure it is a truly ‎memorable event‎.”
