Exciting News From the Kevin Smith Testimonial Committee

A series of five special events to mark ‘King Kev’s’ testimonial year is being organised, and the chance to be part of the celebrations is open to supporters of all ages.

Three of the events have still to be finalised, but the Testimonial Committee is delighted to announce that bookings can now be taken for two of the big attractions.

This is your chance to say ‘thank you’ to East Fife’s longest serving player and be directly involved in what are sure to be unforgettable occasions alongside the club’s popular captain. Please be aware that none of these events will be run by East Fife FC, and all communications should be directed to the Testimonial Committee via the links at the bottom of the page.

All monies raised go to Kevin directly. Please support any event you can.

Full details of the other three events will be confirmed over the coming weeks.

SUNDAY 22 MAY 2022

Event 1: Brunch & Meet the Title-Winning Team of 2016

Come along to Bayview and have a full Scottish breakfast in the company of the East Fife squad who won the 2016 League 2 Championship, along with a selection of Kev’s other former teammates. The event will include a question and answer with the players and guests. Book now to avoid disappointment. The event starts at 11am and ends at 2pm, and tickets are £20.

Event 2: East Fife Fans v East Fife Title Winners 2016

This is a unique chance to play for an East Fife Fans team against the players who won the league title in 2016, at Bayview Stadium. Only 33 spaces are available, and each player will be entitled to 30 minutes on the park against our most celebrated team of the last decade – with the Fans team managed by a surprise guest!

Places on the Fans team are available on a first-come, first-served basis and each player will receive a special one-off strip with their name and chosen number on the back, as per the attached graphic. The fans team will sport the gold & black kit while the 2016 squad will wear the white version. This will be a brilliant keepsake and is well worth the cost of taking part on its own. The match will be a once-in-a-lifetime event for many fans and is guaranteed to be great fun so be sure to book early. The full-scale, 90-minute game will kick off at 2pm (just after the separate Brunch event), and the match fee for fans who want to take part is £60. Participants must be aged 16 or over.
