The Official Everton Podcast

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.

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!
