Mohamed Salah won the PFA Player of the Year Award on Sunday night, but despite sweeping up accolade and being one of the biggest presences in the room, the Egyptian King took the time to say hello to young fan and honoured guest of the awards Moin Younis.
Younis has a rare skin disorder called Epidermolysis Bullosa. The condition, which has been described as an 'incredibly painful' affliction with 'no known cure', causes his skin to peel, blister and tear. Doctors at first thought that Younis wouldn't live past his first birthday but he''s defied the odds and proved them wrong.
Younis, who won the Teenager of Courage category at the Pride of Britain Award last year, had a wish to meet with Salah at the ceremony last night and the Liverpool attacker granted The 17-year-old his wish within seconds, coming over to speak to him along with Reds captain Jordan Henderson.

In another Instrgram post, Younis said to Salah, "You definitely deserved your award", in an Instagram post where he described the two Liverpool players as 'amazing guys.'
We can't say we disagree, there. On 31 goals, Salah is now level with Alan Shearer, Cristiano Ronaldo and former Reds striker Luis Suarez for most goals scored in a 38-game season. With another three games to play, there's no doubt that it will be another record broken by the 25-year-old.
They are both absolute heroes and worthy award-winners.
