Lad Opens Up About Meeting 'Very Humble' Fabinho On Holiday In Majorca, He Even Followed Him On Instagram

Brenden Ryan, a Customs Officer from Gibraltar, has been enjoying a week in Spain's Balearic Islands with his girlfriend and on Wednesday, he decided to go for an afternoon sunbath.

"I was lying down and when I got up for a swim, I noticed they were lying down on the sunbeds behind me," Ryan tells SPORTbible. "I went over and asked him if he didn't mind taking a photo with me."

He pounced at the chance to organise a kickabout on the beach.

"I asked if he didn't mind doing a few kick-ups with me later on in the day and he said no, not at all," the 32-year-old says.

"He was a great guy, very humble and easy to speak to. We played football a couple of times throughout the day and spoke about his football career and just life in general."

After enjoying the day together, Fabinho followed his new mate on Instagram before reposting a video of them playing together on his story. "An unexpected day," Brendan wrote. "Thank you @fabinho."

Brenden says the Brazilian midfielder made his holiday "one to remember" after the chance meeting.

Fabinho and his Liverpool teammates will report back to Kirkby for training on July 4, before heading to Thailand to kick off their pre-season fixtures.
