Football fan writes a beautiful letter to the injured Coleman

The curse of International break didn't go away without striking this time too.
In the game between Wales and Republic of Ireland, Seamus Coleman, the Irish captain suffered a horror leg injury which has ruled him out for the rest of the season.

The injury which many people would find disturbing happened on the night when Republic of Ireland took on Wales in the 1st round of Group D of the FIFA World Cup Qualifier at Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

Seamus Coleman stretched out after the horrendous leg injury

Neil Taylor was the guilty of the tackle who was shown a straight red after the shocking tackle.

Football fans from around the world showered their prayers and hoped for a speedy recovery of the Everton man.

One such fan is a five year old who wrote a heartfelt letter to Coleman.

Reece Kenny from Offaly and his seven-year-old brother Cody, met the Everton full back before the game against Wales and were at the game when Neil Taylor's horror tackle de-railed Coleman's career till at least 2018.

The letter which the fan wrote to Coleman

The young fan writes:

'To Seamus, I love you, you are the best soccer player. My brother and I met you last Thursday before the Wales match. You were so kind and friendly to us. You are our hero. We were at the match and we were so sad for you that your bones are broken, we hope you get better really soon. Love from Reece Kenny (5) and my brother Cody (7) from Offaly.'

Meanwhile, FIFA agreed to pay the wages of the Everton man during the period of his recovery.

Well, we too wish a speedy recovery to the player as he is an important asset to both his club and country.

Gareth Bale names his greatest ever teammate

Cristiano Ronaldo may have won Ballon d'or three times but still he misses out.

In an interview to Foot locker, Gareth Bale was asked that who his greatest teammate ever was, and he chose not to give a straightforward answer.

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs may have had an incredibly illustrious career himself, but he failed to win Ballon d'or, something Cristiano managed to do three times.

Greatest teammate ever

Who is the greatest player you have played with or played on the pitch?

"For me the greatest player is Ryan Giggs. He was my hero growing up and is a legend in world football. It also helps he's a fellow Welshman."

Both players have played together on two occasions, and both stars scored in 3-0 win over San Marino in 2007.
