Liverpool have lots of class players on the pitch. It appears they do have some off the pitch as well. One of them is Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been described as a “real-life hero” after helping a homeless man from verbal abuse near Anfield.
Late last month, the Premier League star pulled up to a petrol station in Liverpool and noticed a homeless man, David Craig, being verbally harassed by a small group.
Not liking what he saw, Salah intervened and warned the abusers they could one day get the same day and forced them to stop. He also handed the homeless man some money; 100 pounds to be precise.
The whole incident was caught on CCTV and the whole summary of the story appears to be true. The ‘nearly abused’ man in question, David Craig, has now paid tribute to the Liverpool man for coming to his rescue.
“Mo (Salah) was every bit as wonderful as he is for Liverpool on the pitch,” Mr Craig was quoted by The Sun.
“He heard what a group of lads were saying to me, then turned to them and said, ‘That could be you in a few years’. I only knew I wasn’t hallucinating when Mo incredibly handed me £100. What a complete legend.”
“Mo had seen a couple of the lads hassling me. They were calling me names, asking why I was begging and telling me to get a job.”
“He saw what was happening and said something to them and then he went to the cash machine. I was more than chuffed. I’m a massive fan.”
“Mo is a real-life hero in my eyes and I want to thank him.”
This act from Salah came on the same night Liverpool beat Arsenal 3-1 at Anfield in the Premier League. That day was surely a good one for the Egyptian on and off the pitch.
