We asked for your views on Everton captain Seamus Coleman, who is ending his playing career with the club after 17 years this summer.

Here are some of your comments:

Helen: I can't imagine Everton without Seamus. Such a loyal servant and leader, which this club will never see the likes of again. Just hope he stays on as a coach. Working with the under-21s would be perfect for him. Thanks for everything, Seamie.

Duncan: David Moyes thinks Coleman's influence is very important to the club so it seems to make sense to have him now transition to the coaching staff. It's definitely time to retire. He's not managed a full game for years. He's had a great career though, and will always be in our hearts. He was £60K well spent!

Ian: Legend is a term used far too often about sportspeople. But not when talking about Seamus Coleman. What he has done not just for the football club but also for the wider community is beyond words. A total class act and an wonderful human being. Thank you, Seamus.

Neil: What a player and what a gentleman. An old-school footballer full of pride passion and loyalty - other players should learn from him. As a fan, I have always liked Seamus and what he stands for. A legend, not just at Everton but for football everywhere. We love you, Seamus, and we know you love us too.
