Everton skipper Phil Neville believes Tony Hibbert will be a one club man.
Hibbert's commitment to the Everton cause is such that Neville cannot imagine him playing for another club.
"You can't envisage him wearing another shirt, he's Everton through and through," Neville said.
The former England and Manchester United defender reckons Hibbert's true emotions about Everton come to the fore in derby week.
"He just comes alive," Neville said. "From being a quite quiet lad, who does join in the with the banter but he's quite reserved, he comes alive.
"He leads from the front and he lets people know, particularly the foreign players, what it means to be an Everton player playing against Liverpool and what it means to the fans.
"He's probably the best out-and-out defender we've got.
"When people think of the great teams that have been built here over the last 10 years and some of the great performances, Tony Hibbert has always been in the starting 11.
"It's a tremendous achievement and I hope the fans come along and support him."
