Alex Iwobi and Dominic Calvert-Lewin Praise James Garner’s Heartwarming Gesture
Everton players Alex Iwobi and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have expressed their admiration for teammate James Garner’s kind act after the 1-1 draw with Luton Town. Garner, who started in central midfield, gave his match-worn shirt to a young supporter in the away end, earning praise from his colleagues.
Iwobi called Garner a “hero” on Instagram, while Calvert-Lewin described him as a “baller.” The gesture has added to the feel-good factor around the Everton squad, which has seen a resurgence in form with four unbeaten matches.
Despite the positive on-field performances, off-field issues continue to cast a shadow over the club. The potential takeover by 777 Partners and the threat of administration have raised concerns among fans and players alike.
Garner’s heartwarming gesture has provided a welcome distraction from the uncertainty, showcasing the human side of the players and their connection with the fans. As the season comes to a close, Everton supporters will hope for a swift resolution to the off-field issues, allowing the team to build on their recent momentum.
