Anthony James Hibbert (born 20 February 1981) is an English former professionalfootballer. Aone-club man for his entire career, coupled with his down-to-earth demeanour, Hibbert earned acult hero status amongEverton fans.

Originally amidfielder, Hibbert converted to play atright-back. He spent his entire professional career with Everton, having joined the club in 1991. He made his senior debut for Everton in 2001, and went on to make 328 appearances for the club in all competitions.

Club career

[edit]

Hibbert was born inLiverpool and brought up inHuyton.[4] Growing up as an Everton supporter, Hibbert joined the club as a boy.[5] He was a member of the Everton youth team that won theFA Youth Cup in 1998 beatingBlackburn Rovers 5–3 on aggregate.[6] Three years later, he made his first-team debut for the club in aPremier League match againstWest Ham United on 31 March 2001,[6] in which a high challenge fromStuart Pearce into Hibbert's chest saw Everton earn a penalty.[7]

In the2002–03 season, in the wake of an injury to fellow right-backSteve Watson, Hibbert became a regular member of the Everton first team. The Actim Index rated him the best English right-back in the2004–05 season.[8]

He missed the end of the2005–06 season with a hernia problem and his preparations for the2006–07 season were hampered after he was infected bycryptosporidium parasite.[9] Hibbert's 2006–07 season was seriously disrupted by injury. He again played regularly in the2007–08 and the2008–09 seasons.

At the start of the2010–11 season, Hibbert was Everton's longest-serving player,[7] the only player who had been at the club throughout the entire reign of former managerDavid Moyes,[5] and had appeared in more competitive European games than any other Everton player.[10] In addition, he had not scored in a competitive game during his professional career.[11] Alongside his commitment to the club, the goal drought contributed to his cult hero status among Everton fans, to the extent that a banner reading "If Hibbert Scores, We Riot" was displayed at the2009 FA Cup semi-final.[12]

Hibbert was awarded a testimonial match for Everton following 10 years of service. The match was played on 8 August 2012 against Greek sideAEK Athens, the team against whom Hibbert made his eighteenth appearance in all European competitions for Everton, equalling a club record.[13] Hibbert scored Everton's fourth goal, a free kick, in a 4–1 win prompting a pitch invasion.[14]

Hibbert's2012–13 season was littered with injuries. In the early part of the season he suffered neck and calf injuries which kept him out of action until November.[15] He only returned for a few games before a recurrence of the calf injury forced him to have surgery which meant he did not play again until he came on as a substitute in Everton's final home game of the season.[16] The match was manager David Moyes' last home game in charge of the side following his decision to end his 11-year reign to joinManchester United. Hibbert's appearance meant that he was the only remaining player at the club who had featured in Moyes' first squad.[17]

The form ofSéamus Coleman who was later named the club's2013–14 Player of the Season kept Hibbert out of the first team to such an extent that he only made one league appearance during the campaign.[6] Despite his limited first-team opportunities, managerRoberto Martínez said he was ready to offer a new deal to Hibbert.[18] In July 2014, he signed a two-year contract with the club.[19][20]

Hibbert saw very little gametime come his way over the following two seasons. At the end of the2015–16 season he was released by the club after 25 years, of which 18 were as a professional Everton player.[21] He announced his retirement shortly afterwards.

In April 2017 he joined amateur side Hares FC in theSkelmersdale Sunday league and continued the next season.[22] After moving to France following the end of his professional playing career, Hibbert registered as a veteran player with amateur club ES Louzy in November 2021.[23]

International career

[edit]

Hibbert was called up to theEngland under-21 team in October 2002 for games againstSlovakia andMacedonia but he did not play in either game due to a hamstring injury.

Personal life

[edit]

Hibbert was the victim of a high-profile burglary in 2006.[24] In 2013, he purchased a 33-acre Frenchcarpfishery on the outskirts ofReims called Lac de Premiere.[25]
