TONY HIBBERT TESTIMONIAL PLANNED BY EVERTON FC

[alan ball]

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.

Is right.

 

[Whitebootman]

Deserves it, may even score!

 

[ijjysmith]

We should have a Hibbert staute outside Goodison.

Everton Vs Police Riot Squad XI

 

[BiggyRat]

How about a ceremonial penalty, and if he scores, the riot can begin?

 

[ToffeeBlueNose]

good for him been a good servant to the club even if i disagree with him being anywhere near the team.

 

[Gwladys Nights]

I'll have to be there. Surely he'll score.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Good stuff.
It's nailed on now that he'll score in the match just before his testomonial.

 

[AusTekkaz]

I will riot on the otherside of the world. He deserves it

 

[BlueWeasel]

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?

No jury in the world would convict you, convict

 

[AusTekkaz]

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?

If we ever have a lead as good as that again . . .

 

[AusTekkaz]

No jury in the world would convict you, convict

Agressive bumming is the only thing I have been charged for sadly. Letting down the nation

 

[PaddyG]

We called out for him to take the pen towards the end of last season but Moyes said no the tit.
