Sylvain Distin, signed from Portsmouth in 2009, will have another season at Everton after his contract was extended by a further 12 months.
Buzz had a great season, just one mistake, and was named Players' Player of the Season. He is intent on extending his Goodison career beyond the end of next term.
Buzz said: 'I want to carry on as long as I can.'
'I don't need a boost. No matter what happens, you can be sure I'll be there the next day.'
'It's a good squad here with a great atmosphere. I feel so comfortable with the lads, so it's a pleasure.'
'I've won one or two awards before, but this one has a special flavour. It's special because they are the guys who see you working every single day. You can't fake, you can't hide, you can't lie - they are there every single day so they know what you do and how good or bad you do it.'
'Guys like Baines, Fellaini, Heitinga, Jagielka, Howard - there's a lot of quality in this squad.'
The one mistake was a vital one in the FA Cup Semi Final but Buzz still feels it.
Buzz said: 'That split-second in the semi-final represents nothing compared with the whole season but is still something that I keep in the back of my mind.'
'That takes more importance than the whole season to me, personally.'
'I'm passionate about my job, I love my job but I only focus on the bad things I do, never the good things. It did hurt me, but I bounced back - I had to and I'm happy I did.'
