Anyone looking for an autgraph from, or selfie with, Seamus Coleman last 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.
By all accounts, Coleman always stops by to thank the Toffees fans for their support. Buoyed by progressing to the FA Cup semi-final, the Irish defender went above and beyond the call of duty.
Coleman 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.

During the week, we reported on Coleman donating £5,000 to help Daire Flannagan ,a young Irish Everton fan who is suffering from a serious illness, visit Goodison Park next season.
This is not the first time Coleman has donated some of his earnings to good causes.
He prefers to stay low-key about such deeds but it is always heartening when word gets out of such selfless deeds.
