I don't think anyone is going to be the least bit interested in the actual match.
It's just a great chance to see so many bygone heroes in action one last time.
But you know that anyway, don't you?

Yeah but the dreamer in me wants the stars to perform as they did in their prime!
Laugh all you want but I really hope bunjevcevic is playing what a guy.
Wish Keane and Defoe were there too just so we can have that debate one more time
What about Kanoute and Mido???

@BenPearceSpurs: #thfc announce Hoddle will manage Ledley's Guest XI in testimonial. Chris Perry, Neil Sullivan, Luke Young & Mauricio Tarrico join squad.
Glenn Hoddle will take charge of the Guest XI side at the Ledley King Testimonial match on Monday, kick off 8pm.
The Spurs legend and former manager will be conducting an exciting array of former favourites from the touchline against the current First Team at the Lane, including the likes of Edgar Davids, Paul Robinson, David Ginola, Teddy Sheringham, Dimitar Berbatov, Scott Parker, Peter Crouch and Darren Anderton.
Glenn has nothing but admiration for a player that really came into his own in the First Team during his time as manager.
“When I first saw Ledley King play as a youngster, the thing that impressed me most was how calm he was," recalled Glenn. "He was never flustered; even in and around his own penalty box while under pressure, he was always in control.
“I loved the way he played; so two-footed as he brought the ball out of defence. He had such natural ability and possessed supreme confidence in what he could do. Where some defenders would panic, Ledley would dominate."
Glenn considers it an honour to have been nominated by Ledley himself to direct proceedings on behalf of the Guest XI.
“I feel honoured to have been asked to manage Ledley’s guest side and to have the opportunity to pay my own tribute at a stadium that will always be dear to my heart and on a pitch that Ledley King graced with his own unique style for so many years.”
Joining the Ledley Guest XI will be four players who served under Glenn during his two-and-a-half-year spell in charge at the Club, with former Wimbledon duo Chris Perry and Neil Sullivan plus Luke Young and Mauricio Taricco all set to line up alongside Ledley on Monday night.
Perry, who made 146 appearances in our colours, admitted he was delighted to receive the invitation to take part in Ledley's big night: "I was over the moon when I got the text from Ledley to ask if I wanted to play and I jumped at the opportunity.
"When I first came to the Club he was really young and he was really quiet about the place but when he got on the pitch you just saw this player come out and he could do anything.
"When I was first in the team he was just sitting in front of me in central midfield and he looked like he’d played there forever. He grew as his career went on and he obviously became a great leader on the pitch.
"He was always excellent and he’s a great role model for any young centre-back or midfielder."
Goalkeeper Sullivan echoed Perry's sentiments about Ledley's natural ability on the pitch: "What a player! Coming into the Club you knew all about him but it wasn’t until you’d played with him, or played behind him as I did, that you realised what a talent he was.
"When he was out on the pitch he was fantastic. It was great that he got the captaincy at a young age as well, and he deserves his Testimonial."
QPR defender Young, another product of our youth setup, admits that Ledley was always destined for greatness: "I first came across Ledley in the youth team and it was pretty obvious back then that he was going to go a long way and be a top, top player. He has been an unbelievable servant for Tottenham.
"It's been such a long time since I played at White Hart Lane, there are still a lot of faces that work there from when I played at Spurs and I'm looking forward to meeting up with Ledley and some of the other lads who I used to play with 15 years ago."
Meanwhile our former Argentine defender Taricco, now Assistant Head Coach at Sunderland, always felt Ledley possessed all the attributes to be a top defender from a young age: "We played together when Ledley was still young. He was a central defender who had everything – good technique, strong, quick, that’s what made him the player he was.
"I’m really looking forward to Monday night. It will be great to be part of something special for a special player.”

I'm still surprised that the club aren't providing a web stream of the game.

Yes gutted about that too. Putting the game on the monday after the season ends is bad enough, but at least broadcast it so as many of us as possible can see it.

Be careful Timmeh doesn't pass you the gillet if Hoddle is schooling him.
