Giving back

Anyone looking for an autograph from, or selfie with, Seamus Coleman on Saturday night did not leave disappointed.

Following Everton’s 2-0 win over Chelsea at Goodison Park, many fans lingered outside the players’ entrance for a glimpse of their heroes.

And, buoyed by progressing to the FA Cup semi-final, Coleman went above and beyond the call of duty.

The Irish defender spent over half an hour with Everton fans and, at one stage, even spoke to the brother of a supporter when he was handed a phone.

Needless to say, social media was alive with praise for Coleman and the time he gave back to fans.
