Adam Lallana has been busy stepping up his rehabilitation in South Africa but still had time to meet up for a drink with a fan.
The England international is absent from the Reds' squad for the Champions League semi-final first leg against Roma as he bids to return to full fitness after an injury-hit campaign.
Having spent time in the "amazing city" of Cape Town, Lallana is deservedly receiving plaudits for being a class act.
Ashwin Johri is not even a Liverpool supporter, Arsenal are his team and he is involved in a Gunners podcast. But he bumped into Lallana and the former Southampton man was more than happy to pose for a picture.
However, the story was not finished there. When he ran into him again at breakfast, Ashwin asked him if he could buy him a beer later on and Lallana agreed.
The two swapped numbers, with Lallana telling Ashwin to get in touch later on that evening. He came through and the two had a drink and half-hour of chat at the hotel bar.
The Liverpool star ended up introducing Ashwin to his friends later on that evening when they met up again, the ten of them chatting all things football, TV shows, politics and travel. Lallana even FaceTimed one of Ashwin's mates, who was in his element.

Ashwin posted a fantastic account of his encounter with Lallana, who seems like a really top bloke.
Fair play, Adam. He really didn't need to go out of his way but he was more than happy to.
We hope to see him back on the pitch very soon.
