Great honour for ex-GAA player Seamus Coleman.
Former Killybegs Gaelic footballer and avid Donegal fan Seamus Coleman wasd in the Professional Footballers' Association's Premier League Team of the Year last night.
The 25-year-old Republic of Ireland international was selected in the right-back position after his best-ever season for Everton.

Donegal centre back Karl Lacey was among the first to congratulate Coleman when tweeting: "Well done Seamus Coleman, true professional #FullyDeserved."
Coleman was a talented Gaelic footballer with Killybegs before embarking on a successful soccer career. He was in Ballybofey last October to see his former team-mates lose the Donegal SFC final to Michael Murphy's Glenswilly and admitted at the time:
