Thursday’s Toffee Bites: Steven Pienaar calls it a career

Steven Pienaar’s football career ended with a whimper because of some lackluster appearances for Sunderland and Bidvest Wits. But he will always be remembered as an outstanding Everton player during the David Moyes era of the club. Thanks for the 26 goals and 48 assists across 229 appearances, Steve-O. Happy retirement!
