Mo Salah: Football is Life

The BBC’s Nick Garnett explores the rise of the Liverpool and Egyptian striker and cult hero Mohamed Salah.

In his first season at Liverpool, Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah captured the hearts of the club's faithful, breaking goal-scoring records and being voted player of the year. But it's his achievements off the pitch that demand the most attention. The BBC’s Nick Garnett explores the impact of the cult hero who rose from humble beginnings to help shatter the divides between different faiths, nationalities and races, from those living in the shadow of Anfield to right across the Middle East.
