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

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.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs?
