Well, what about Irwin?
Or Evra?
Anyone else?
Everton fans are a proud breed. And the proudest of them all, Leighton Baines, has called it a day as he leaves behind memories of goals and assists to warm the cold Merseyside winters for years to come.
Baines was a top player. But the best?
On The Football Spin podcast, Paddy McKenna and Dion Fanning got caught up in a heated discussion about the greatest left back to play in the Premier League era.
One man thinks it’s Baines and that there’s no question about that because the stats back it up.
Another man thinks it’s the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard.
"That is preposterous!"
Was Leighton Baines the greatest left back in the history of the Premier League?
