Blues captain has had a busy season on and off the pitch and he is hoping for a third successive win since lockdown in Monday’s game at Tottenham
Between spending far more time than he is used to with his two young children, and acting as an intermediary between the Everton hierarchy and his teammates in negotiations that led to substantial wage deferrals, Everton’s captain, Séamus Coleman, is glad to be finally back playing football, if only for a modicum of respite after the game’s enforced break.
“It was definitely a busier time than I would have expected and being a captain of a
Football club, it’s not something that you would have ever expected to have been getting involved in,” he says of his role as Goodison Park shop steward. “I need to look after my players and there was no issue with the club at all. They were fantastic, so having to do it with Everton was probably an easier
Job than at other clubs, but it was definitely a busy time.”
