Apart from scoring goals, Mohamed Salah is also known for helping the poor and needy. Very recently, he defended a homeless man named David Craig who was being attacked verbally by a group of people. The man was being bothered by a few people and little did they expect that the Liverpool forward would jump into action to defend the man. David could not believe his eyes as the Liverpool star told the attackers that this could be them if they happen to lose out all the money. Like anyone else even David was quite stunned to see Salah coming to defend him. The gesture was caught on CCTV cameras and David was awestruck as he labelled Salah as the ‘real-life hero’. Mohamed Salah Wins LFC Goal of the Month Award For His Net Against Leeds United (Watch Video).
