Never forget where you started from, your friends, family and neighbourhood, your people and country. Yes, it may sound too easy, but not once we used to see the examples of different behaviour, especially those who reached stardom in their respective careers.Thankfully, Sadio Mane is a whole different story. His humbleness goes beyond his playing skills, and they are truly remarkable and outstanding. It’s the same for the Liverpool forward at this AFCON 2021, which is reaching its climax with the upcoming Sunday finals between Mane’s Senegal and his Reds teammate Mo Salah national side, Egypt.

He’s also well known for his giving back to society. Senegal and Liverpool star funds building of a hospital in BambaliAs soon as he signed for Liverpool a couple of years ago, he donated substantial money for building a hospital for the people of Bambali, the town he was born and raised in before moving to Dakar in search of a football career.SENEGAL – EGYPTBack in England, Mane is a regular face at the central mosque where he goes to practice his Islamic faith and has been seen cleaning the facility with other Muslims on a couple of occasions.A divining human being, indeed.
