Tony Hibbert

I can't help but think that this has improved our chances somewhat, should we get a injury to Coleman. I would very much prefer to blood an up and coming youngster or move another player out of position to deputise than have Hibbert playing. He should never of been given that extended contract(s) as he simply is just not good enough. Bang average is being kind to him. His best playing days were behind him 5 + years ago.

Yes true Tony H is special started as a kid in the youth set up in Ossies book scored for fun, that's why I thought instead a extending his contract a position in the youth set up training to be a coach etc would have been a better move for him, and the club in his day for us he all most made the England squad when he had that bad virus illness.
You are right the are other players on wages who like him hardly feature for us!
It's a shame he never ever scored in a competitive match, and if he would have had height he would have made a great centre back, I joke about him but only the fact it was a wrong decision to extend his contract as stated above.

Personally, I think Hibbert has been a great journey-man for the club. Honestly. I know he's not all we wanted; I imagine he wished he was better. But it's been a career of service at one club. He gets the keys to Goodison and I hope he gets a cushy position at the club as ambassador or whatever. It's what we do. It's kind of corrupt but it's also kind of human. Go 'ead Tony lad.
 
I'd imagine he bleeds blue and there isn't enough of those around. He is very limited. He is no where near an Everton legend, but I do think we need to support those players who made a career at the club. It's easy (and very lazy) for fans to dismiss him as mooching the system.
 
Way up north there was this fella... fella I wanna tell ya about. Fella by the name of Tony Hibbert. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. Mr. Hibbert, he called himself "Hibbertinho". Now, "Hibbertinho" - that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.

But then there was a lot about Hibbertinho that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. They call Liverpool the "The Pool of Life." I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow there are some nice folks there. 'Course I can't say I've seen London, and I ain't never been to France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says.

But I'll tell you what - after seeing Liverpool, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd see in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place back in the early 2000s - just about the time of our conflict with Osama and the Al Quedas.

I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about Hibbertinho here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Hibbertinho, in Liverpool. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Hibbertinho was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Merseyside County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide.

But sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced him enough.
