Gordon celebrates Testimonial against Sunderland
Sunderland will visit Tynecastle in July as goalkeeper, Craig Gordon, celebrates his Testimonial after 11 years of service with Heart of Midlothian FC. The North-East of England combine have recently reclaimed their slot in the Premiership and testimonial bosses are confident this fixture will prove popular with fans. The date for your diary is July 26 and Gordon said: 'It is a great honour to be granted a testimonial game with the club that I grew up supporting.' The 42-year-old has played for Hearts on more than 300 occasions over two spells. Gordon is also Scotland's fourth-most capped player, holding 81 caps, and he added: 'I've played at the highest level and represented my country, but what fills me with pride the most is pulling on that Hearts jersey and walking out in front of our fans.' The 6ft 4in stopper, who started his career with Currie Boys, played 88 games for Sunderland, who bought him for £9m, then a British transfer record fee for a goalkeeper, and he played for The Black Cats from 2007 to 20012. He said: 'I enjoyed some great times at The Stadium of Light and they hold a special place in my heart.' PICTURE: Craig Gordon at the opening of Hearts' hotel.
