Seamus is spending some time at home with his family and friends in Ireland before he returns to USM Finch Farm to really begin his recovery. The messages he has received from Evertonians and from people all over the world has meant a lot to him and he’s really grateful for this. Of course, that support is there for the team, for the Club, week in and week out and we know it will be there again today. Enjoy. 05 06 Captain’s Notes ood afternoon and welcome to today’s game. “We were fast out of the blocks G I can’t believe we’ve only got three home fixtures left this season!
