ANOTHER week, another milestone for Seamus Coleman.
First Everton’s Irish prospect helps his country to a triumphant 2-0 victory over Italy, then he’s back among the award contenders after narrowly missing out on the PFA Young Player of the Year award to Gareth Bale.
Now Coleman has now been shortlisted for another prestigious prize.
The 22-year-old has been nominated as ‘Newcomer of the Year’ at the MBNA Northern Sports Awards.
Coleman is up against fellow Premier League stars Andy Carroll, Javier Hernandez and John Flanagan.
Also up for the award are Team Sky cyclist Ben Swift, and cricketers Jonathan Bairstow, Ben Stokes and Adam Lyth.
To cast your vote for Seamus go to the Everton FC official site, and the winners will be named on July 4 at Lancashire CCC.
Everton are also in line for a second award that night, with evertonfc.com shortlisted in the best website category.
All that, and the boy from Killybegs found time to Tweet his satisfaction at winding up in his own bed at his family home by the end of the week, before enjoying a delicious cooked Irish breakfast from Mrs Coleman.
Who says footballers have lost touch with reality?
Fingers crossed he wins.
