Everton's Andy Johnson, the hardest working player in the Premier League
To be the hardest grafter in a team of workaholics is no mean feat, so maximum respect to the bald workhouse who scores goals and covers miles on the pitch.

Andy "AJ" Johnson is the hardest working player in the Premier League.
He is known for his blistering pace akin to a pre-crippled Mickey Owen, but he doesn't just save his energy for short bursts of speed, he covers the pitch so comprehensively that he is on first name terms with every single blade of grass.
Lauded as a hard worker by fans and press - the fact that his work ethic is even noticed in a team such as Everton that has such a powerful hard-working and determined regime speaks volumes.
When I see Everton play I half expect to glance towards the touchline and see the substitutes doing laps, and yet in such a well-drilled and energetic unit AJ still ranks as the number one workaholic.

According to our fitness coach Steven Pienaar and Leon Osman are the most hardworking players at the club and cover the most ground. AJ's up there but only gets recognized more because he leads the line.

Marcus Bent is right up there with AJ. He is a Magnificent Athlete and Everton Fans wil always remember the work he put in to get us that 4th CL place a few years ago. Other Fine Examples are Michael Essien, Kevin Doyle, Stephen Hunt and Kevin Davies.

No players outside Everton will be entertained, because in his eyes, everything is Everton.
