GRATEFUL
I remember the promise that David Moyes made to me 10 years ago: "once you walk through those doors, you'll fall in love."
Today, I will walk through those doors one more time, and then I will depart.
I will depart with love in my heart for the greatest of football clubs, the People's club, Everton FC.
I will always be thankful to so many. Of course, the fans-- those who bring such passion and make Everton what it is. My teammates. Among others, Tony Hibbert, Leon Osman, and Leighton Baines were always a shining example of how a true Evertonian should train, play and act. Phil Jagielka has been the greatest and strongest captain, and it has been a privilege to follow him. Two great managers. David Moyes was the ultimate leader, combining strength and integrity. I am greatly indebted to Roberto Martinez for his great decency and commitment to me as a player and a man. My wonderful Chairman, Bill Kenwright, whose approving smile from the Director's Box will be an enduring memory; words cannot express my gratitude. And there are so many others that work at the club or support the club who are all part of my family, now and forever.
I will soon walk out on the Goodison pitch, the 414th time I have been honored and trusted to wear the famous Everton shirt. I will walk out of the tunnel one more time to hear Z-Cars and the thunderous applause of 40,000 Evertonians. I will hold these images and sounds with me wherever I go.
I am going home to America. But after a decade in Blue, THIS IS MY HOME. I love all of you, and am so grateful for what the club and everybody affiliated with it has given me. EVERTON, you have become a part of my soul. You'll forever be in my heart. COYB!!!
Your #24,
Tim Howard
