The Everton full back is one the nominees for Sportsperson of the Year 2014.
During the interview, Coleman revealed his favourite other sportsperson to be fellow Donegalman and All-Ireland winning captain, Michael Murphy.
Coleman also said that his GAA background helped his professional football career as he established the required levels of motivation and commitment early in life.
