Liverpool fan Sean Cox gifted Mohamed Salah a special jersey as a touching keepsake for the winger, as he prepared to depart the club in the coming weeks.
Cox reunited with Salah at Anfield during the Reds' draw with Chelsea in the Premier League, with the pair meeting up several times in recent seasons.
In 2018, Cox was the victim of an unprovoked attack before Liverpool's Champions League semi-final clash with AS Roma at Anfield, which left him with life-changing injuries.
Liverpool has shown support for the supporter and his family since, which has included a strong connection with former players and managers at the club.

Salah is one of those to have reached out to Cox, who comes from Ireland, to connect on several occasions, with the latest coming over the weekend.
With it potentially being one of the last times the pair will reunite while at Liverpool, the Egypt international met up with the supporter, where he received a special gift.
Cox gave Salah a St. Peter’s Dunboyne GAA jersey with his name and famous number 11 on the back, while there was also a touching message on the front.
It reads: "From the Cox family," sending out a special keepsake for the winger, while showing the connection to the Irish club, Liverpool, and Salah.
A post from St. Peter’s Dunboyne GAA on social media reads: "From one legend to another. Sean Cox proudly presented Liverpool star Mohamed Salah with a special St. Peter’s Dunboyne GAA jersey during an unforgettable day at Anfield.
"With Salah’s famous No. 11 on the back, the jersey symbolises the lasting connection between Sean, the Cox family, Dunboyne, and the Liverpool community."
It shows another side of Salah that will be missed, not just his work on the pitch, but what he offers the community and fanbase around Liverpool.

While it will be a sad moment when he does leave, the winger insists it is the right time to move on, having spoken with Steven Gerrard on TNT Sports.
He said: "I feel to go through the season this is the right thing to do now, and I have peace with it. The season was tough for all of us... I don't want to say much.
"I'm happy about it, everything that is going on this season makes me like 'No, it's time to go,' so I'm happy."
