Joe, now 36, was born in Cardiff and earned his first senior appearance for the club in 2006, making his way to Wycombe in 2014 via spells with Bristol Rovers, Oldham, Accrington and Shrewsbury.
The defender has been an integral part of Wycombe’s achievements throughout his time at Adams Park, scoring the goal that clinched promotion to the Championship in 2020, featuring prominently in cup runs and promotion pushes, and becoming famed across the country for his set-piece prowess, most notably netting a hat-trick against Lincoln four years ago.
"To bring my two favourite clubs together for this game will be an incredible occasion that I’ll always cherish."
Joe Jacobson
He said: “It’s a real privilege for me to be given the opportunity to celebrate my time at Wycombe Wanderers with a testimonial and I’m over the moon that Cardiff City have agreed to play a special part in it.
“I’m a Cardiff boy, born and bred, and it was a source of huge pride for me and my family to play for the club right at the start of my career. I’ve loved every minute of my time at Wycombe so far and to bring my two favourite clubs together for this game will be an incredible occasion that I’ll always cherish.
“I’d like to thank the board and everyone at Wycombe Wanderers for granting me this testimonial game, and Cardiff City for agreeing to provide the opposition.”
Blues chairman Rob Couhig added: “Joe has been an outstanding professional for Wycombe Wanderers, not just on the pitch with his undoubted talent and countless significant contributions, but also off the pitch as our captain, a leader, a general and someone who our supporters and the whole town rightly holds in the highest regard.
“When we knew he would be with us for his tenth season, we had no hesitation in granting him a testimonial game and now I urge everyone who’s followed Joe and his team-mates for the past 10 years – whether it’s been just for a few games or week in, week out – to come along to Adams Park on Saturday 29th July to show him what he means to Wycombe Wanderers and to celebrate his phenomenal career with us.”
