Ossie Joins The 300 Club
Bookmark and Share

Leon Osman will make his 300th appearance for Everton if he plays on Saturday against Fulham. The 30-year-old is set to join fellow team mate Tony Hibbert in Everton's 300 club.

Ossie played his first game in 2003, when Spurs won 4-3 at White Heart Lane. 

Bainesy thinks he's got better with age and is now a very important player for the Toffees.

Bainesy said: "Ossie's been a terrific player for the club over the years. He's continued to grow over the years and he's a massively important player for us now.

"Since I've been here, I think he's got better every year really and become more and more important to us.

"I thought last season he was great and this year he's been fantastic again. He's a vital part of the squad and the team. To get to 300 games is a very nice landmark to reach."

Im not sure I agree with Bainsey's comment "...he's continued to grow over the years"...from what Ive seen, Ossie is still the short arse he was when he first started! Well played Leon son, 300 games in the Moyes era is nothing short of a fantastic achievement!! Respect to an unsung hero who gives his all for the shirt.

Agree with you Ste,he is a weak link.At OT he went off with half an hour to go,we upped the pace (something we can't do when he plays ) and scored 3.David Moyes will wait another 10 years before he wins something if he keeps playing Osman.Fellaini plays better with Gibson alongside him and when Osman is out wide we have no pace at all.

Top Evertonian. He has really matured into a proper player. He will play wherever Moyes asks and always gives 100%. Just loves the shirt. Congratulations Ossie.

Ste @ #4 - has it ever crossed your mind that it might be because HE plays well that we play well ?

I won't forget last season's towering header against City for many a season!

He's a weak link. He's ok when the team plays well but when it comes to the crunch he disappears. Seen it too many times. He goes missing too often for me, but he's a favourite of Moyes so he won't get dropped.

Arl twinkle toes as we call him in our house has done a great job over the years and its a shame he's never had an England shout. Well done Ozzie lad.

Here's to the next 300 ! Not the strongest player we've ever had and he has his detractors but he never gives less than 100% and most important of all the guy's a proper footballer. One of the first names on the teamsheet for me.

I really like Osman's technical ability and eye for an intricate pass. If only he had more weight behind his shots and he'd bag far more goals a season. Regardless, well done on your 300 games.
