Glaws grant Andy Hazell testimonial year

Andy Hazell - local hero
By Cherry Picker August 7 2008
Andy Hazell has become only the third player in Gloucester's history to be granted a testimonial by the club. A series of events is being planned throughout 2008-09, with cash raised also going to two charities nominated by the popular England flanker, and he'll be hoping for more luck with injuries than he had last season.

An official website has already been set up to keep fans informed, and hopefully they'll sort the home page out soon so we can read what it says. Spelling calendar properly would help, too.
Andy Hazell (Glouc)Andy Deacon and Mark Cornwell are the only previous Glaws players to hold testimonials, but nobody deserves the honour more than Haze (right), who has been with the club since 1997 and will hopefully pass the 200 games mark during the coming campaign.
Haze told the club website: "There are not many Gloucester players who have ever been granted a Testimonial year so to follow players like Andy Deacon and Mark Cornwell with this honour means a huge amount to me.
"I am passionate about Gloucester and its rugby. When you grow up as a local kid in the local leagues, it was always a dream to play for Gloucester and I am very fortunate to have fulfilled that dream. There is plenty I still want to achieve in the game and I am relishing the start of the new season.
“This is just something very special and to be only the third player to ever receive one is a tremendous honour.”
Hazell's two chosen charities are Winston's Wish and Breakthrough breast cancer.
Good luck to haze from Shedloads.

Thoroughly deserved by a great club servant and a wonderful ambassador for the city. He can play a bit as well!

Re: Glaws grant Andy Hazell benefit year
You cant really say anything about Hazey that has not been said many times before. Hopefully his season will be a roaring success in every aspect, how fitting would it be for Glaws to win some serious silverware in the testimonial season of a player who has given so much to the club?
