"That was more for me than it was the young lad! "I just told him that at the time as well and he was fine with it. "I knew tackles and things like that were never going to be a bother. That one was more for the few fans that were here that there are no psychological effects."His views on the modern Premier League:
"If I see a footballer with a Louis Vuitton wash bag I wonder what that does to others," Coleman said in an interview with the Daily Mail in 2016. "If you are the only young lad in the changing room without one then you feel that pressure that you need to go out and get one. Even if you don't want one or even like one.
"That's what I think is wrong with football. It's completely wrong. Your job is to train well and play well on Saturday and do well week in, week out. That's your job. Your job isn't to be going out and buying the best of everything just because someone else is. "But they feel they all need to have the best because of the pressure. They think they need to look good on their Instagram pictures. They think they have to follow the leader but they are just kids — boys."His constant work with charity and the less fortunate.

Coleman is an exceptionally talented footballer, he is undoubtedly the best player that Ireland has produced this decade, but so much of why he resonates with the Irish public almost has little to do with football itself, but rather everything around football.
His charitable endeavours. His leadership. His perspective. He can be abrasive as a footballer, but he is seemingly always decent as a human being.
Decency and perspective is important in a league, where to a noticeable degree, it has either been lost or overlooked.

Mesut Ozil lives a life where driving sports cars is a reality and catching the Tube is a tourist activity... as opposed to a daily commute.
Not one single Manchester United player has joined Juan Mata's Common Goal initiative, where players would pledge 1% of their wages to charity. This, despite his club having five players in the top 10 highest paid players in the league.

It's a league where players take to social media to look for sympathy for a busted lip while Coleman rehabilitates largely in solitude, from a double leg break no less, and not a small cut from a throw-in.
