Tim Cahill To Leave Everton For New York Red Bulls, Here's His Eight-Year Goodison Park Career In Pictures

GALLERY: Cahill To Depart Everton After Eight Years

Tim Cahill is set to leave Everton after the club accepted a £1m bid from Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls.

It signals the end of the Australian's eight-year career at Goodison Park, where he has emerged as one of the Toffees' biggest icons in the 21st century.

Signed for a bargain £1.5m from Millwall in 2004, Cahill scored 68 goals for the Blues and displayed a knack for scoring in the biggest games.

Most of them came courtesy of his head - at 5ft 10in Cahill's heading ability supersedes many of football's beanpole fraternity - but his greatest is surely that spectacular overhead kick at Stamford Bridge to earn a point against Chelsea in November 2007.

The 32-year-old's decline began before his paltry three goals in the 2011/12 season - in the previous campaign he hit his last strike at Manchester City in December.

However Cahill is synonymous with, and the epitome of, the David Moyes era on the blue half of Merseyside: limited yet tough, laborious but tenacious, he has given Everton fans several memorable moments.

And here are some of them...
