Last week there was a great thread discussing favourite Town player partnerships .
I chose Hogg and Mooy.
Hoggy was the perfect foil for him with a simple task. Win the ball and give it to Aaron.
They worked together like clockwork.
Supreme competitor - you would certainly want him on your side in a battle!
Of course he has limited ability- but I still haven’t seen anyone better at doing what he does in this league.

We haven’t had too many testimonials over the years. I think the last one may have been Jon Dyson, with Tony Leighton before that? I think TL got about 10,000 This has to be an opportunity to show what he means to the club.

A testimonial was mentioned in the Summer with lots of our former players getting together ( can’t remember the source ) But what a night that will be! Especially if a certain former Head Coach turns up!

He'd probably invite Watford for his testimonial, but i'd love him to select an enemy 11 to play against.

I went to Steve Smith's against L33ds (who thought they were champions of Europe) & then a few years later Peter Fletcher & Dick Taylor who both retired early because of injury, they played against Notts Forest (who were champions of Europe)........been to most of the testimonials, its a shame more Town fans don't, maybe they will for Hoggy.

I was at that match against forest, I seem to remember it was pre season and there was a piece in the examiner about forests tea lady or kit woman being from Huddersfield there was a picture of the two of them as well, I went in the open end as it was a hot day the crowd was poor around 3 thousand I think

The word 'Legend' gets bandied about far too much these days, but regardless of his shortcomings, Hogg is fully deserving of the title. Nearly 9 years a Town player and across that time he must average a 7/10. Enjoy him while he's here because when he isn't, we'll be spending a lot of time on here saying 'We need another Hogg'. The number of players who he's taken under his wing as well. Billing, Sorba & others have noted that he's been an incredible influence on them.

I bumped into her at the first game of season away at Notts County a dozen or so years ago when we won 3-0. Had a good chat - a really lovely lady. Think she sadly passed away a few years ago.

Remember Worthingtons testimonial. Ref gave Town a penalty so Frank could get a goal. Souness on opposition went mental - the miserable get!

Let’s not forget that he was touted 3 or 4 years ago for an England call up. Think his testimonial next season (end of) could see Collin Quaner in action and a full house. Let’s hope.

As in the words of a great Canadian musician, ‘You don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone’ I much prefer these words from a great Canadian musician "I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel You were talking so brave and so sweet Giving me head on the unmade bed While the limousines wait in the street"

Hoops fans up here used to constantly chant at him - (well being polite here) - a singular word to describe a man’s peeing anatomy that slowly dragged out vocally... kinda sounds like his name !

Interview on WY sports daily (on BBC Sounds) before Preston game last night, Hoggy happy for Town to be the underdogs & that everyone's buzzing around the whole club.......Won't surprise him if we go up again & not to rule us out.

He may not be the player he was, but he's the only player that came out of today's debacle with his reputation enhanced. He may not be the new Glen Hoddle, but we bloody miss him...at his best he may have been the difference today.

He may not be the new Glen Hoddle, but we bloody miss him...at his best he may have been the difference today. Town were second best all over the pitch today. He wouldn’t have made any discernible difference and he’d also have been booked before being subbed off in the second half.
