Tony Hibbert: 20 Years On

The Official Everton Podcast - A podcast by Everton Football Club

On 31 March 2001, a young defender made his First-Team debut for Everton in a Premier League match at West Ham United. Tony Hibbert would go on to make 329 appearances for the Blues, famously without ever finding the back of the net. Little did he believe when he made his bow at Upton Park - and won a first-half penalty when he was fouled inside the box by Stuart Pearce - that he would end his career in the all-time top 30 appearance list for the Club. We caught up with Hibbert to get some of his reflections on a wonderful career – including, of course, his eventful debut and the night he DID score a goal at Goodison Park!
