Club career
Hibbert was born in Merseyside and brought up in Huyton.Aged 18, he was a member of the Everton youth team that won the FA Youth Cup in 1998 beating Blackburn Rovers 5-2 on aggregate. Three years later, he made his first team début for the club in a 2–0 win against West Ham United aged 21. A high challenge from Stuart Pearce into Hibbert's chest saw Everton earn a penalty.
By 2002–03 Hibbert was a regular member of the Everton first team. The ACTIM index rated him the best English right back in the 2004–05 season.[1]
He missed the end of the 2005–06 season with a hernia problem and his preparations for the 2006–07 season were hampered after he was infected by cryptosporidium parasite, an illness contracted through infected water or food.[2] Hibbert's 2006–07 season was seriously disrupted by injury. He again played regularly in the 2007–08 and in the 2008–09 season he began to regain his best form, starring on 4 January 2009, in a 1–0 win in the FA Cup fourth round against Liverpool.[3]
He was the victim of a high-profile burglary in 2006.[4]
As of January 2010[update] Hibbert is the longest serving player currently at Everton, though has never scored. Hibbert has appeared in more competitive European games than any other Everton player.
