It's supposed to be downhill all the way for any player leaving Old Trafford, but there has been little sign of Tim Howard's career going into a tailspin since he headed for Goodison Park three years ago.
While the exit strategy has hardly gone to plan for some Manchester United cast-offs, Howard's acceptance that his fortunes needed a kick-start has been the making of him.
He was in and out of the starting line-up at United, but it is not just the No 1 on his back that makes him the first name on David Moyes' team sheet.
The Everton boss readily acknowledges he has never made a better signing and no one was arguing on Saturday.
Howard set a club record in a grim draw with Tottenhamwith his 15th Barclays Premier League clean sheet of the season,lifting him above the mark set by Goodison great Neville Southall.
Skipper Phil Neville said: 'He has found his spiritual home here.
'You can count his mistakes on one hand since he joined us.'
