Tranmere's Jamaican Legend to get long-awaited Testimonial Game in early May.....
Prior to Tuesday night's home defeat to Wycombe Wanderers, Tranmere announced that Rovers Legend Ian Goodison will finally get the Testimonial game he deserves and one which the Rovers fans have waited for for a long time.
The former Jamaican international defender, now aged 42, will get his Testimonial on Monday 4th May, just two days after the 2014/15 League Two season comes to an end when Rovers host Bury on the final day.
Goodison joined Rovers in February 2004, reuniting him with his former Manager at Hull City, Brian Little and he made his debut in a 1-1 draw away at Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park. Little did the Rovers fans know back then that Goodison's association with Tranmere Rovers would go on to last ten years before he finally retired at the end of the 2013/14 season last May.
According to Tranmere's Official Website, the Testimonial match is set to feature an Ian Goodison International All-Stars Team which will come up against a team of former Tranmere players who played for the Club alongside the great man. No details of either teams line-ups are available at this stage but the committee hope to have an exciting line-up for the game. Total Tranmere will bring you the news on the squads nearer the time as it is made available.

Even at his age, I agree, he could have done a job for us as part of the squad this season. One thing is certain opposing forwards would know they had been in a game.

Great news indeed. Let's just hope that the game two days before isn't one of the worst moments in Tranmere's history - that would really but a downer on the occasion for sure.
