Tony Hibbert

[blueblue]

I think we may see him get a few minutes in the last home game , as a farewell, but that is all.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

I'll never forget the comedy own goal he scored away at West Ham.

Or at home to Newcastle.

 

[Baines' left foot]

He gained cult status for being absolutely woeful. Do you think any other supposed too team would take him?

Every time he played we took the piss out of him by shouting 'shoot!'

Now, instead of moving on years ago to try and gain first team football st a club his level, he chose to sit there picking up a wage packet from us for doing nothing.

So If your boss offered you a pay rise and you didn't think you deserved it you'd turn it down? Because that's what you're basically saying.

Are we really considering playing Hibbert who hasn't played since 2014?

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

He is a joke player who stole a career at the top level.

Au contraries, he was a limited, but fairly effective player, who could be relied upon to block, tackle and clear the ball. He was 1st choice right back in a team which regularly finished top 7. He wasn't amazing, but your criticism is too harsh in my opinion.

you can't apply the same logic of that sort of profession to that of a normal man.

one doesn't attain cult status by being ordinary ergo Hibbo is no ordinary footballer. In fact, I'd go so far to say, his (continuing) football career is extraordinary.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Back in 2009 or whenever, Hibbo used to drive me utterly insane but now I consider him at the very least a cult hero bordering on a legend. A loyal, uncomplaining, down to earth, untheatrical all round decent bloke of a footballer. A rare breed. He doesn't dive, feign injury or brandish imaginary yellow cards at refs or assault taxi drivers when pissed up at 4am. Everton would show him a new contract and he would sign it 10 secs later without phoning his agent (ok, I'm making that up). You get the gist. If I had ever been a footballer I would only ever have wanted to play for Everton and no one else. Hibbo has achieved this.

oh, no doubt about that. Hibbo deservedly assumes position in the pantheon of Blues Legends.

I just love an old Trooper.

Dean, Kendall, Ball, Labone, Hibbert

 

[Neiler]

Hope he buries Couthino, little one direction want to be.

I've was there forgot the goal but think that was the match where they had no shots on target and we drew one one. The first and only match I ever took my wife to.

if you worked with the lad and he was utter chobb at his job and stank of fish, would you slate him to your mates, or alternatively on a internet forum?
