Everton legend and club captain Seamus Coleman sits down with Blues correspondent Joe Thomas during an emotional return to Ireland
“It wasn’t until we had the last two or three years that I fully realised and understood how massive this football club is to the people. For certain families and people, whatever they are going through, this is massive for their lives. I know it sounds extreme but the people I have seen and talked to, they live for Everton . That is what gets them out of bed on a morning.
This week those worlds will converge on the east coast of Ireland, where Coleman grew up and where his football career began . It will be his club travelling into his family’s domain for once, and the emotions are expected to run high when Everton step out onto the pitch at Sligo Rovers - the club that received the infamous “60 grand” transfer fee now regarded as one of the greatest deals of the Premier League era.
