2019/20 Leighton Baines.

[Nymzee]

Retiring and you couldn't even let him start the last game. Shithouses.

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Sad but it's the right time. If we want to move forward as a club then we can't do that standing still. One of my absolute favourite players I've had the pleasure of watching. The anticipation of what's to come when he was standing over freekicks a few seasons back was rivalled & bettered only by Beckham in the Premier League. So wish he had some medals to his name with us.
Sell Pickford.

Yeah agree this is what we'd like. If Digne leaves this summer we're in the deep stuff.

I think all players will give it one season under Carlo.

 

[MACCA75]

Best left back I’ve ever seen play for us

 

[Tubey]

All the best on your retirement Leighton - sorry for utterly destroying you in Sports Day that time in the 800m, 400m and 200m x

 

[Exeter_Gently]

One year deal or retirement? After that showing today think I'd be choosing retirement.

What, not Terry Phelan???

 

[Kenshin]

Great player for us and one of the best modern players we have had at the club.

Looking forward to whatever he chooses to do next. Just a shame he couldn't say goodbye to the fans

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Thank you Bainesy for your loyal services over the years.

Modern day Everton hero!

 

[PhilEFC]

A brilliant player and a nice man. Gutted to see him retire, a true icon.

If only it was any of the wasters we’ve got in that squad instead.

 

[Eggs]

Dissapointing way to go out.

Also leaves us needing a LB when we already have about 7 signings needed

....we just signed one, be interesting if he’s now seen as back-up.

Baines could easily have picked up a fortune next season and ambled around doing so, good on him for going out with grace and style. Little maestro of a footballer, I always enjoyed watching him.

 

[MACCA75]

What, not Terry Phelan???

I didn’t mind Terry!

....we just signed one, be interesting if he’s now seen as back-up.

Baines was a little maestro of a footballer.

Can’t see it Eggs he’s never played at senior level thus far in his career

Thanks for your service Leighton, some great performances and memories
