Ian Richardson Testimonial Match

[caj85]

I have a 1998 div 3 champions shirt that was signed by the Notts Team that turned out for Ian Richardson Testimonial Match. The problem is I can't really make out all of the signatures.

Hopefully someone's memory has the squad list squirrelled away in their brain and could list the players here please??

The ones I know are:

Ian Richardson
Sean Farrell (He was the player who managed to get everyone to sign it)
Saul Deeney
Roger Cleary (the physio)

Any help would be wonderfully appreciated.

I think the testimonial match took place in 2005, so it might have been a mishmash of players from the title win and players who he was particularly friendly with since?

Baraclough, Ian (1995-1998)
Cunnington, Shaun (1997-1998)
Derry, Shaun (1996-1998)
Diuk, Wayne (1997-1998)

Yes the fact it was a 98 shirt was just coincidence that was the one I had available to get signed.

Thats a cracking list of players though. Thanks for that.

Sure is. We could do with Strodder now!

Was Ian Richardson the last Notts player to get a testimonial match? Mike Edwards possibly? I doubt we'll have any more, in these days of free agency you're lucky to get more than three seasons out of any player

Think it was Richardson and it only came about because of some sort of dispute over extending his contract after he'd been injured, the testimonial was offered as a compromise. The match isn't listed in the official history book, nor can I find any info on it online. Does anybody know the date it took place? Can anybody upload an image of the programme cover?

Mike Edwards did have a testimonial, but it doubled up as a pre-season match v Fword 23rd July 2016, we lost 1-2. Att: 9,007.

Was it that match on 30th April 2006 with a load of old players. I remember Radio Nottingham asked several of them to make a good luck message for the following weeks match against Bury.

Didn't he also have to wait a while to see his money ?
