It's been a long road to recovery for Seamus Coleman since suffering a horrific injury in a heated World Cup qualifier with Wales in March of last year.
A challenge from Neil Taylor left Coleman's leg broken in two places, interrupting what Martin O'Neill called the "season of a lifetime" at Everton.
And now, he's in the starting 11 for his club as they prepare to take on Leicester City in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.
It's a huge moment for a top professional who has worked extremely hard to get back onto the pitch, never complaining about his lot and just getting on with the job.
Everton have recognised Coleman's graft by peppering the stadium in his image ahead of the game, as BBC Radio 5 Live commentator Conor McNamara arrived at Goodison Park to be met with the following tribute:
