Video: Seamus Coleman hails GAA and League of Ireland for helping him become a Premier League star

The Donegal man is so proud of his GAA and League of Ireland background

Eric Lalor

Arguably the best full-back in the Premier League.

Seamus Coleman did a Q&A with RTE and gave us an interesting insight into his personality.

He was asked questions about breaking into the Everton first team, his time with Sligo Rovers, his GAA background and other stuff.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that he wouldn’t have many nice things to say about Giovanni Trapatonni, but he credits him with helping the defensive side of his game.

Donegal fans will be delighted to find out who his favourite other sportsman is.

We love Seamus Coleman here in JOE and we love this video.
