Tim Howard

"This is a place I love, it is hard to leave. I grew up here, my best friends are here, there have been so many highs. I was fighting back the tears at the end. This will always be my home. I love this football club."

Says it all for me. A player shouldn't get slagged for being past their best or not being the best available - only when they're not trying or simply don't care. Not a charge that could ever be leveled against Tim Howard. His biggest crime in an Everton shirt was daring to turn round and arguing with those who doubted him.

Spot on - he was practically unbeatable at times, he just lost it.

Excellent post! Loyal players like Howard are rare these days!

Irony - the most famous Everton game Howard ever played in was probably this one.

I'm gonna miss them Starjumps man and his inability to claim a cross or catch a ball or hold onto a shot. End of an era in many ways, good luck to him.
