I met seamus a few months after he signed for us, i was a shy 12/13 year old lad. He was shopping in Liverpool city centre, i went over to him full of nerves and said hi can we get a picture please, and he was the loveliest man I had ever met, he could tell i was nervous and started asking what was i shopping for today and didnt look like he was annoyed or in a rush to get the picture over with, i tell this story to everyone i talk to about Everton, thank you Seamus for the memory i won't ever forget it and thank you for everything you do for the badge 💙 my captain

The word “legend”’is often overused throughout today’s culture; through media, campaigns, casual conversation etc. However, for Seamus Coleman, he has firmly established himself as one of the greatest players of our wonderful football club.
