Remembered! When Tony Hibbert scored his only Everton goal, prompted pitch invasion

By James Kilpatrick published 20 February 2017

To mark the 36th birthday of the retired Toffee hero, we take a trip down memory lane and reflect on the full-back’s solitary strike for his boyhood club.

Hibbert, the one-club legend who made a remarkable 328 appearances for Everton, scored his only goal in his own testimonial match – a 4-1 win over AEK Athens in 2012.

Hibbert’s free-kick, which barely made it over the line, caused so much hysteria that it led to a full-blown pitch invasion. And who can blame them? He'd been at the club since 1990.

All hail King Tony!
