Heitinga – Proud to Be Blue

“Proud to be an Evertonian”, those are the words that will will bring a smile to every Everton fans face.

Following a string of alleged quotes and rumours that he wanted to quit Goodison, Johnny H has finally put the record straight.

“It is a great club and I am playing in a World Cup Final as an Evertonian,” declared the Gwladys Street favourite.

“The Premier League has made me a much better player. Coming from Spain to England has helped me so much and Everton have assisted with that.

“The fans were very good to me last season. We struck up a good relationship. I have signed a five-year contract and I am proud to play for Everton.”

Last month we ran an article pleading for Heitinga to ‘keep it shut’ but, on this occasion, I’m delighted he didn’t. I can’t help thinking that Heitinga was simply miss quoted and mislead in previous interviews, but the stories definitely left Evertonians split down the middle with regards the Dutchman.

His latest statement will clear up any mistakes and leave no room for misinterpretation, Johnny H is a Toffee and he’s going to do us proud in the World Cup Final. Hope to see him doing a lap of honour at the first home game with a winners medal – good luck Johnny.
