Back in the mid-2000s, Baines was one of the most chased left backs in the Premier League, as offers from some of the biggest clubs including Manchester United filled his e-mail box in a flurry.

However, to everybody's surprise, the Englishmen opted for a stay at Everton and has continued to play for the Toffees since then, being a regular member of the team even at 33.

With over 410 appearances, the left-back is one of the most heavily experienced players in the League but has failed to win a major title with Everton and Wigan. With 3 runner-up spots, Baines continues to struggle at club level in terms of winning the major trophies.

However, he could still be going at the age of 33 and winning something with the Toffees. In addition, Baines has some individual credentials to his name, such as the Premier League Milestone award and the PFA Team of the year award in two seasons.
