Blind fan who passionately celebrated Salah's goal invited by the Egyptian to training ground

Amid the celebrations when Mohamed Salah scored a brilliant goal against Napoli at Anfield that sent Liverpool to the last 16 of the Champions League, one visually-impaired supporter identified as Mike Kearny could not comprehend what it looked like.

As such, his cousin, who is a Liverpool fan took up the duty to explain the moment to Kearny in a heartwarming fashion.

As the cameras panned around Anfield after Salah's effort, the Liverpool fan could be seen whispering to Kearny how the Egyptian forward's goal went in as they celebrated.

After Mike's video went viral, Salah invited him to Melwood training facility, and gifted him with a signed shirt as seen in a video posted on Liverpool's Twitter account.

Salah's Liverpool shirt to Kearney was signed: " To Michael, your support is an inspiration. Mo Salah."

Kearney and his cousin also got the special opportunity to meet German tactician Jurgen Klopp and other first team players - a dream come true for any die hard Liverpool fan.

"Thank you Mo Salah for inviting me to meet you and for signing a shirt for me and my cousin. I had an amazing day. It was brilliant meeting everyone, I'm really grateful and won't forget the kindness shown to me," Mike later tweeted back.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
