Patrice Evra Facts
- Born in Senegal, Patrice’s family relocated to Europe when he was just 1 year old. His father’s work as a diplomat had taken them to Brussels from where they moved to France a couple of years later. He returned to Senegal for a short while when he was 10 years old but his family decided to settle in France permanently after that.
- Ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he had suffered racial abuse from Senegalese supporters because they felt he should have represented his home nation of Senegal instead of France.
- He is allergic to eggs and only came to know about this condition during a medical examination while he was playing his trade for Italian club Juventus FC.
- A polyglot, he is fluent in French, English, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
- In November 2017, he was banned from UEFA competitions for 7 months after he was found guilty of kicking a fan just before a UEFA Europa League match.
