EVERTON are looking to reward Tony Hibbert’s long service with a testimonial match.

Hibbert has been a mainstay of the Goodison defence since making his debut as a 20-year-old at West Ham United back in March 2001.

And the idea has been raised at the club for a match to salute more than a decade of service from the right-back.

Hibbert, who is 31 next month, has made almost 300 appearances for Everton and is third on their all-time list for most Premier League outings.

Famously, Hibbert has yet to score a senior goal and has the dubious tag of playing the most amount of games without scoring for Everton, and possessing the longest run of games in the Premier League without a strike.

Hibbert has missed Everton’s last three games having suffered a groin strain during the home defeat to Bolton Wanderers earlier this month.

But he has resumed training this week and could press for a recall ahead of Saturday’s Premier League visit of Blackburn Rovers, easing an lengthy injury list for Everton manager David Moyes.
 



Next time we're three or four up towards the end of a game and get a penalty we should give it to him like Chelsea did with Makelele that time. What?
