Former Everton Academy prospect John Lundstram has revealed Kevin Sheedy remains one of his 'biggest influences' in football as he looks to help Rangers to European glory next Wednesday.
Lundstram joined the Blues as a youngster in 2002 before being officially released by the club in 2015 without a single first-team appearance to his name. The 28-year-old midfielder instead experienced a series of loans at EFL level at the likes of Blackpool, Leyton Orient and Yeovil Town.
His dream of becoming a Premier League footballer later came true at Sheffield United in 2019, though he had hoped this moment would arrive with the Toffees.
