Born and bred Scouser, Hibbert is firm favourite with the Goodison Park faithful. Loves a tackle as much as his beloved Toffees
David Moyes’ players are renowned for their levels of commitment – and few would deny that this lifelong Blue is about as tenacious in the tackle as they come.
A graduate of the Toffees’ 1998 FA Youth Cup-winning side, Hibbert had only just turned 20 when he made his top-flight debut against West Ham in 2001 and has been a regular at right-back since.
That said, his early years as a midfielder – and no shortage of pace either – inform his foraging instincts at the other end of the pitch. He signed a deal in January tying him to Merseyside until 2012.
