More than 10,000 Celtic fans made the trip to Manchester to play the Premiership Champions for chocky's testimonial.
"I'm touched and proud that so many people made the effort to come along for my game, especially with the Celtic supporters having to travel so far." "Both sets of supporters helped to create a marvellous atmosphere. I knew it would be a good day as soon as I saw the weather but the attendance surpassed my wildest expectations." "I fulfilled a boyhood dream in playing for Celtic and will always look back on my time at the club with affection and I think that is appreciated by the supporters."
