An Everton fan by the name of Neil Harrison apparently dislocated his elbow in the away end at the Molineux as we opened up our 2018/19 Premier League campaign.
The match saw a four-goal entertaining clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and ourselves, and a Richarlison brace following his summer signing from Watford more than entitled us to a point on the day despite Phil Jagielka’s sending off in the first half of the game.
All we know is he suffered the mishap celebrating one of Richarlison’s goals, understandably given I assume he took to social media from Accident and Emergency, he didn’t specify which one.
Suffice to say some good-natured brainiac at the club either saw a good PR story here, or answered a call from the fan or his friends and took full advantage of the opportunity that presented itself.

However it came about, it certainly struck a positive chord amongst fans on social media when the club promoted Richarlison’s visit to the unlucky fan.
I will say though, kids, this is not how you meet players normally. There are safer options available!
Chortling at this.

So I just have to dislocate my elbow to meet Richarlison? Deal! If I crack a few ribs too, do I get to marry him? Get well soon Neil. ❤️

I have quite simply run out of superlatives to describe this man.

I broke my wrist in the St.End during the replay, the one after the 4-4 draw with Liverpool ! All I got was a walk around the pitch to see the St. John's Ambulance women ???? Go to hospital she said. "We're 1-0 up love, I'll go once we get through". 1-0 win = 6 weeks in plaster

Someone show this to Fat Sam. This is what it means to ‘understand’ Everton.

Simple, but effective…I hope the lad is recovering well but class from Everton.
