The former Academy graduate is preparing to face the Blues with Oldham Athletic this evening in the Checkatrade Trophy and sat down with the ECHO to reflect on his time at Goodison.
Baxter, the youngest player to have represented the club, talks candidly about the lifeline Everton handed him in 2017 when he faced "some very dark moments" during a drugs ban.
The 26-year-old spent last season with the Blues' under-23s in the hope of relaunching a career that lay in tatters and says he owes a debt of gratitude to Bill Kenwright and others who gave him a "third chance".
Baxter also provides fascinating insight into playing under David Moyes, how a moment on his debut will haunt him forever and how close he came to playing in the 2009 FA Cup final.
The Bootle born attacker reveals a "surreal" experience with Tim Cahill, the truth about the new contract he turned down in 2012 and how Joleon Lescott delivered a painful lesson in training.
Baxter goes on to discuss Phil Neville, Leighton Baines, being a mentor to Everton's young players and much, much more.
