Everton winger Coleman to face boyhood hero this weekend

Everton winger Seamus Coleman lines up against one his heroes this weekend.

Saturday evening's game could well bring Coleman into direct opposition with one of his heroes in the shape of Damien Duff.

The Fulham winger has been one of Ireland's best players in the last decade and Coleman says he is relishing the opportunity to play against the 84-cap international.

"When I was a kid, Damien Duff and Robbie Keane were the players me and my friends looked up to," recalled Coleman to evertonfc.com. "The 2002 World Cup was fantastic, they were superb and had a great tournament.

"He (Duff) is a top player and seems to be close to his best. He has been a good player for Fulham this season, scoring goals and he will be a threat."
