Neville: ‘I love Coleman to bits’

PHIL NEVILLE reckons that Seamus Coleman has what it takes to become a major player for Everton and Ireland over the coming years.

Coleman, who got his call-up to the senior Ireland squad ahead of the Russia and Slovakia Euro qualifiers last month, looks a certainty to be included in the panel which Giovanni Trapattoni will unveil in Dublin tomorrow afternoon for the friendly game against Norway at the Aviva Stadium on November 17.

But although Everton manager David Moyes has used the Donegal man as a right-sided midfielder at times this season, club captain Neville expects that Coleman will make a lasting mark in his usual right-back position.
