Should Howson get a testimonial?

Definitely would deserve one in the old days, but not really a thing now.

Where is he in our all-time appearances, must be top 20 or 30 now? Incredible service and certainly should be recognised.

Who was the last Boro player to have a testimonial? At the Riverside, I remember Bernie having one that he’s still bitter about and there was a game for Maddren against Inter Milan, though not his testimonial. Any others? Did Mustoe or Fleming have one?

I don't know if it was the last one at the Riverside but I remember going to Chris Morris' testimonial against Forest in (***check's Google***) 1998.
 
All recent testimonials at Boro have been arranged to pay respects for the players but to raise money for charity and good causes that the players champion.
If Jonny Howson or Dael Fry have a charity that is really close to their hearts then it could be a good way to raise several thousand pounds for a cause.
 
My opinion, no. BUT I believe he should be brought back for a home game and allowed to receive the send off we'd have given him if we knew he was leaving.

He is.

The club said in his departure announcement that he'd be back.

"Jonny will return to the Riverside in the coming months to say farewell to the supporters."
 
Nope. Not done now really
He'll come out just before KO. Get a proper ovation.

Better than half time as crowd gone to the concourse to queue for a twix cos everything else has ran out

That would be my thought.
A 'testimonial' in name with the proceeds going to a charity/ good cause of that players choice

I always had it in my head that Testimonials where for players who played for 10 years or more or did i make that up? Obviously if that was the case it would be redundant in the modern game

Yeah I thought it was 10 years too!

Who was the last player who was eligible, was it Schwarzer?
 
I recall Clayton Blackmore had a testimonial, possibly after playing only 1 match.

I realise this was really a man I testimonial. Have any other players had away testimonials?

Probably a smart move: Man U free a bigger gat at AP that he might have got at old Trafford
