Hibbo Is Excited About His Testimonial
Bookmark and Share

Tony Hibbert is looking forward to his testimonial match against AEK Athens (chosen as they were the side he played against when equalling the club record for European appearances) at Goodison on August 8th.

Rewarded for over 10 years service Hibbo says he will be proud but nervous.

He has also announced that he will be making a donation from the proceeds to both Claire House and the Rainbow Trust.

Hibbo said: 'It is a great honour for me.'

'It's a great feeling to be up there with the legends and big names of Everton. I'll definitely be nervous. I just hope someone turns up!'

'My time at the club has flown by. I can remember when I made my debut. It's my 11th year, going into my 12th. That is a long time and the club has changed an awful lot. We've seen all the changes and a lot of people come and go.'

'When you sit down and think about it, it's a very long time. I'm just happy that I've been here for that long.'

Don't worry Tony, we will be there in numbers. Get practicising those penalties because we are expecting a riot!

Nothing flashy, no poses, just does exactly what it says on the can. Tony Hibbert, unsung hero.

If only all the players gave 100% like Tony, What a player he has been for us, he lost his place and came back stronger last season and even managed to lob in some decent Crosses... I hope he scores this season not just at the testimonial... we will have a mini riot of course, but a full blown one if he actually does it in the league or Cup this year! Thanks for your services over the last decade mate, I was there for your first game and I hope to be there at your last!

Gutted I won't be there for Hibbo's big night as I'll be back in sunny Sudan, but with any luck Everton TV will do the business and I'll at least see the highlights, Tony scoring and the inevitable riot. Well deserved testimonial !!

Don't worry Hibbo. At least four in my car coming from the "Riviera of the Midlands." Think this one should have been made "all ticket". I predict a bumper crowd to pay testimony to a fine Evertonian.

There will be at least 25 of my family at the match to honour a great servant to Everton.
