9-year-old fan with cerebral palsy reacts after winning Everton Goal of the Month

George Shaw beat off competition from Ross Barkley, Kevin Mirallas and Aaron Lennon with a whopping 86% of the votes.

DURING THE HALF-time break of the Premier League meeting between Everton and Swansea at Goodison Park last month, nine-year-old George Shaw scored a special goal in front of the Gwlady’s Street End.

The Toffees fan, who has cerebral palsy, was a guest of Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu for the day and also got to meet a number of his heroes.

That strike was nominated alongside the likes of Ross Barkley, Kevin Mirallas and Aaron Lennon for the club’s January Goal of the Month, and ran away with the award — picking up 86% of votes.
