A Liverpool fan with Everton tattoo with a beautiful story of how The Everton Community saved his life
Colin Dolan, a Liverpool fan, who set a five-a-side team called The Liverpool Therapy, has told the story on how The Everton Community has saved his life.
“I’m a Liverpool fan with Everton tattoo, but there’s a good reason for it. Six, seven years ago when I was seriously ill and I was close to death’s door, I joined the Everton programme and it completely transformed my life, it saved my life, that’s why I’ve got the EITC (Everton in the Community) tattoo on there, the logo on there as well” Dolan tells BBC Radio 5.
“Since then I’ve done so much within the football world and mental health. I travelled everywhere and I decided that I wanted to do my own thing as well, to try and give an opportunity to people who were going to work or doing strange shifts and they can’t come along to sessions that were being provided by Everton in The Community, so I launched the Liverpool Football Therapy as a football session. Tonight is the first night. I want people to come along, get well, learn to cope with their problems, move on and more people to keep coming in” he added.
