DO YOU KNOW THE CURRENT AND ONLY PLAYER IN THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE (EPL) NOT TO HAVE SCORED IN 11 YEARS OF COMPETITIVE FOOTBALL FOR HIS CLUB?

Tony Hibbert
Since Tony Hibbert made his first team début for Everton FC in a English Premier League (EPL) match against West Ham United on March 31, 2001, he has not scored a goal in 20,704 mins of EPL football - the most of all current outfield players in the division.

In addition, Hibbert has never scored in a competitive game during his professional career, and in December 2009, when Lloyd Doyley scored for Watford, he became the current player with the longest run of games without scoring. Alongside his commitment to the club, the goal drought has contributed to his cult hero status among Everton FC fans, to the extent that a banner reading "If Hibbert Scores, We Riot" was displayed at the 2009 English FA Cup semi-final. He eventually scored an indirect freekick goal in his Testimonial Game against AEK Athens of Greece at Goodison Park on August 8, 2012.
