Landon Donovan has issued an emotional farewell to Everton Football Club.

The American international proved a hugely popular figure at Goodison Park during his loan spell, but he is now on his way back to LA Galaxy after his ten-week stint in England.

"I'm 28 years old now and I've played over 100 times for my country, I've also played a lot of league games in different parts of the world," Donovan told Everton's website.

"But I've never met a fan base like this, either playing for them or as an away player. Forget about football for a moment, this is a life experience I'll never forget."
