LIVERPOOL SUPPORTER LOUIS Fowler injured himself attempting to catch a glimpse of his idol over the weekend.
The 11-year-old collided with a lamppost on Saturday as Mohamed Salah was driving out of the club’s training ground in Melwood — resulting in a broken nose.
Louis was brought home and his parents called an ambulance, but he got the shock of his life when Salah showed up on his doorstep checking to see if he was alright.
“In my excitement, I wasn’t focused on what was in front of me,” Louis told BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire. “I was focusing to the left, because that’s where Mo Salah’s car was. Then I ran into a lamppost.
I think Mo felt bad and he pulled over.”
Louis added: “Mo Salah came driving into our close and knocked on the door of our house. He checked if I was okay. He was really worried about me, and then we got pictures.
“It was great, but it also wasn’t the best because of my nose. I think it was really kind-hearted of him and I love him very much, because he’s amazing.”
A lovely touch by the Egyptian forward.

God English football is becoming more and more like the NFL. This tiny thing that means nothing. If your going to show support do something meaningful. Not change the corner flags for a week
I think the only people that care about being gay are gay people. The majority of society couldnt give a rolax!!
Ridiculous stuff. No one cares if a lad is gay, straight, bi, trans, whatever…as long as he’s getting fantasy points
@Theresonly1Liamo123: Too much people care! If only people minded their own beeswax there would be no need for these flags.
@Coner Willis: My eyes hurt reading that. It should say, Too many people not too much people.
Look at all the straight people telling minorities that there’s no such thing as oppression . Why have no gay footballers come out? With all the players in the premier league you’d imagine there has to be at least a few gay lads. I think it’s because the asian market is massive to the epl and also a lot of Asian and African countries are still living in the 1950′s when it comes to gay rights etc. Truly believe there are gay footballers who are warned against coming out of the closet
@William Motley: Haha ! And you think having rainbow corner flags is going to make them come out. Daft bullshit.
@Mike Flannery: it’s a step in the right direction.
@Ger: bs. So if there is a homophobic element in the stands, forcing their teams’ to adopt rainbow flags if going to make the problem go away? If anything it will make people worse and all this will do is paper over the cracks and have mullets getting more vocal, causing arguments among their own fans.
@deano connors: no one is forcing clubs to adopt rainbow flags or laces. It is up to individual clubs Thankfully most (but not all) clubs do. Will it make homophobic fans less homophobic? Of course not. The boot racism out of football initiative didn’t stop racists being racist but it drastically decreased the amount of racist abuse from the stands in English football. To the point where being caught using racist language can get you a lifetime ban from the ground. This is what can and will happen with homophobic abuse eventually, which is what this is a step in the right direction towards. As a gay man who played competitive team sports as a teen I would have felt a lot more at ease in my surroundings had there been something like this when I played.
@William Motley: I’m laughing here . It’s sport. What the hell does someone sexuality matter . If the guy is doing his job ,who the hell cares about anything else . Are we so pc mad that it’s become a joke . We used to just enjoy the beautiful game for what it was. Now football is non contact ,no lauguage . Sad very sad
Ref no way is that a goal kick. Stonewall corner…..
What a load of cobblers and typical of this bleeding heart ridiculous generation
Most of us don’t want to know what anybody else’s orientations are. What has it got to do with football or any other occupation?
This ridiculous token does LG** more harm than good.
More politics in sport by the Brits.
