LEON Osman was happy to spare a few hours of his time after training at Goodison this week for a good cause.

The Everton midfielder has become a fantastic ambassador for the Prince’s Trust after taking over the role from James Beattie.

Ossie was grilled by young people helped by a group of Trust volunteers, and the light-hearted session provided plenty of laughs.

But on the Blues’ progress, Osman says patience is the key. “We’re starting to learn and have patience,” he said. “That’s the word - on and off the pitch. It can take 90 minutes to break a team down, and we’re learning that at the same time as the fans.”
