Tony Hibbert

Gotta laugh at all the bitter people having a chortle at Tony Hibbert getting an injury

The same Tony Hibbert that played in a Premier League side for over a decade

You know, the successful pro footballer

A man who achieved more in his life than they ever will, because he was dedicated and worked hard

The Evertonian who lived his dream playing for his boyhood team

But yeah, he didn't do boss tekkers or score any goals. What a rubbish centre forward. Oh wait, he was a defender you say?

And one of the finest to put on the blue.

Look, I'm hardly going to say Hibbo was a World Class defender or anything, but he certainly wasn't a scrub

He was a model pro and will be a continued good influence on the young lads coming through if he stays on as a coach

It was worth paying him what we've paid him for the past two years if he ends up being a coach at the club for 10-15 years afterward. We'll get our monies worth lads, so get your knickers untwisted, you horrible bitter little toss pots (That's not targeted at you Number btw)

It's alright lad, I love Hibbert as not only a footballer - but a man.
 

He's from a different footballing era, so I can see why he's so revered by some and reviled by others.

Full-backs these days are supposed to contribute as much going forward as going back (some may argue that full-backs in the modern game are secondary wingers, and that's it) - but as far as traditional full-backs go Tony Hibbert has to be considered as one of the best English players of his generation.

I don't think our club has any kind of tokenism, and you don't get 300 appearances over 15 years from just being a decent lad.

I posted this last month, my views on Hibbert and the allegations of tokenism.
 

If this summer moshy is to realign our ambitions back to the top table, it's poetic irony that hibbert does one this summer, as he is the very epitome of evertonians accepting or in some cases lauding the very average, I welcome his departure
 
How can so many of our players get injured in training when we don't even look like getting a tackle in on match days ?
 
This is finally the end, surely to God?

Should have been moved on after his humiliating experience at Wembley in '09 but has for years been been treated like a charity case, for me the fact that he and Osman are still here in 206 sums up what's wrong with us as a club. Players should not be handed new contracts because they're nice blokes who try hard and love the club, if they're crap then they're crap.

Good luck to him in whatever he does going forward, whether he retires or continues playing at a lower level. Would happily welcome him back to Goodison as a fan like the rest of us but in a coaching capacity? No ta, there are better options
 
Should let Hibbo takes a penalty (if any) before retirement in June.

Lukaku always miss them anyway.
