Everton FC captain Seamus Coleman has been named a patron of the Everton Disabled Supporters’ Association.
The Killybegs man said he was proud to accept the “massive honour” of playing a part in improving the matchday experience for fans with disabilities.
Coleman didn’t waste any time in getting to meet some of those fans at Everton Stadium recently.
Surprising fans during a familiarisation tour of the Blues’ new stadium Coleman posed for pictures and heard the first-hand experiences of members as they checked out the new accessible facilities.
Speaking to Everton FC News, Coleman said: “They’re all thanking me but it’s a massive honour, and I’ve always wanted to play a big part in supporting groups like EDSA in my time at the Club.
“Seeing how much they have enjoyed the tour, and learning how their matchday experience will improve here, it’s been a really enjoyable day.”
