5) Joseph Yobo (Everton and Norwich) – 228 Apps
The Toffees snapped up the centre-back for £4m from Marseille, after an initial loan spell, in 2003. He spent the best part of ten years at Goodison Park before leaving for Fenerbahce in 2012.
Yobo did have a brief spell back in the Premier League when he returned on loan to Norwich during the 2013/14 season, but he made just eight appearances. The defender retired after the 2014 World Cup.
