Leighton Baines Announces Retirement

Hopefully this doesn't get lost in the waves of the reactions to the last day of the season but Baines played his last game for us today.

13 years at Everton, a modern day legend without a doubt for his commitment, loyalty and footballing ability.

Even at 35, a huge loss to the club on and off the pitch. Must have killed him seeing the standards and culture at the club fall apart over the past 6-7 years. Can't blame him for turning down the offer of another year as it's well known he's got a lot of interests outside of football.

Thanks for everything, Leighton.

Always liked him as a player. Shame his career overlapped with Coles so much as Baines was one of the few English lads of that 2012-2016 period I really rated. Not a bad defender at all and a seriously canny and dangerous attacking option from the back, beautiful free kicks and crosses.
