“Every time I have
played against Everton, whether it was home or away, straight away the first
thing that comes to mind when you see the fans is passion," an ecstatic
Delph told evertontv.

blood and they really back the team.

going to hear Evertonians and I’m excited to play at home and hear them when I
am playing,” the England international added.
"I’m really
happy to be here, I’m going to give absolutely everything - nothing less than
100 per cent.
