Weir: Joins Toffees coaching staff

Weir: Joins Toffees coaching staff

The 41-year-old spent eight years on the playing staff at Goodison Park at the height of his playing career.

After making 269 appearances for the club, he left for Rangers in January 2007.

He is now back on Merseyside after being offered the opportunity to join David Moyes' backroom team.

Much of Weir's time will now be spent on the training ground, but the Toffees have confirmed that he will also be offering his vast experience to the club's second string.

"David's returning to us in a coaching capacity," Moyes told the club's official website.

"He will help out Alan Stubbs with the reserves and he will also play in the occasional reserve game to help support some of those younger players coming through.

"It will be good to have him around the place. He is a great professional and someone all the players at the club can look up to.

"He did great for us when he was a player here and we are looking forward to being able to work with him again as he starts out in his coaching career."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
