Idrissa Gana Gueye knows first-hand just how impressive Everton’s away support is in European competition.
The energetic midfielder, who was named runner-up in the Club’s Player of the Season vote following his maiden campaign on Merseyside, was part of the Lille squad that played the Blues in the group stages of the Europa League in 2014/15.
More than 5,000 Evertonians packed out the away end at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on October 23 2014 as the Blues played out a 0-0 draw with the Ligue 1 outfit, while as many as double that figure made the trip across the English Channel to show their support.
