Everton fans rush to support 'legend of the Park End' mocked in sneering Tweet

Footie fans have jumped to the defence of a disabled Everton fan mocked in a sneering Twitter post after a video captured him celebrating a goal.

The footage, which was widely shared online, shows the young man running along a disabled section of the stand in Goodison Park after the Blues netted during their 3-1 defeat to West Ham on Sunday .

However some observers suggested he had "jumped out of a wheelchair" after Gylfi Sigurdsson pulled one back for the Toffees , and made assumptions about his disablity.

One Twitter user, @AshHinchy, said: "So this guy got out of his wheelchair and started running around a kicking himself when Everton scored. Miraculous."

However the post was quick to draw derision from other users, many of who said they had seen the man at games before and suggested he had Down's Syndrome.

@blue-nose-amy said: "Angers me so much the state of the replies to this. The lad concerned isn't a wheelchair user.
"He is a lovely lad who has Down Syndrome and just loves Everton. He reacts to every goal we score with so much joy. His Everton world is much nicer than the real one."

@cdg68everton said: "He sits by us and is a legend of the Park End. Everyone loves him.
"If only the team had half of his energy and charisma."

User Granville Jenkins said: "Trial by a 20 second clip - you’re not a doctor, your judging a disabled person and vilifying his actions on Twitter - can’t think of many things more despicable.
"That chap clearly has Downs Syndrome and for a brief few seconds released a lot of emotion. Get a life!"

Despite the scorn of other social media users, @AshHinchy continued to cast aspersions on Evertonians, posting: "Funny how all the Everton fans are responding now daytime TV has finished, and the job centre is closing."
A spokesman for Everton said the club did not wish to comment on the video.
 
It might puncture their season if they went out at the group stage. Howver, I could see them just redoubling their efforts in the PL. I'd be inclined to want to see them get strung along to the quarters...no further than that, just enough to stretch them.
I get your logic but that’s like inviting Beelzebub over for tea tbh.

The absolute maggots. He sits near me with his Dad and has done for years.
 

Shame trophies aren't given out in September isn't it...

They are expending so much energy right now. From the manager to the players and to the supporters they're approaching every game like a cup final. Great mentality by all means but not a chance it is sustainable.

Oh and whatever Ramos did to Salah it has completely ruined him. Liverpool should take the money and run where that one is concerned.

Madrid have won 4 out of 5 CLs and didn’t bother turning up pre Christmas for half of them. Celebrating group stage wins like you’ve won the World Cup gets you nothing. The bubble will burst but in the meantime we’re seeing the myth of Salah completely disintegrating. He was livid when his tap in was disallowed and fuming when Firmino took the headlines. Teams know how to see him off now.

Salah definitely the weak point right now. Form looks to have taken a dive of Torres proportions. Long may it continue.

I know the meltdown is coming. Sooner the better though.

Just a lull for him, will probably come good around Xmas time and go on a goal spree.

They are still winning with him below par, imagine if he was in form.
