Nigerian centre-back Joseph Yobo is another defender who committed a large proportion of his career to the Toffees.

After the 2004-05 campaign, he stayed at the Blues until 2012, but was loaned out to Fenerbahce for the last two years of his time with Everton.

He made a brief return to the Premier League in 2014 at Norwich City, but only played eight matches, one against Everton, before announcing his retirement.

Two years later, in May 2016, Yobo and his wife, Adaeze Igwe, were conferred with chieftaincy titles of Ogoniland, an area of the Ogoni people in Nigeria.
