He's not just a hugely significant global footballer, but he's also a hugely significant global figure, I would say."Although Saul was born in Liverpool, James' roots are in Manchester and the guitarist said the way the band's song has become a Liverpool terrace anthem is a sign of Salah's unique ability to bring people together. I know for him it was a bit difficult because he went to see a City vs Liverpool game and Liverpool pumped them."He was sat there and he said, 'The worst thing about it was you've got 50,000 Scousers all singing his f*****g tune back at him." Saul was alerted to how James' song had been adopted by Liverpool fans soon after it had become a terrace anthem.He said: "Somebody said to me, the Scousers have f******g nicked Sit Down.

That's amazing."He added: "For those fans in whatever pub it was near Anfield that decided to put that melody to his name, I just think it was brilliantly funny."Salah's glorious time in a Liverpool shirt now has a confirmed end date after he confirmed he would be leaving the club at the end of this season.

Liverpool said in their own statement: "Mohamed Salah is to bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with Liverpool FC at the end of the 2025-26 season."The forward has reached an agreement with the Reds that will see him close a remarkable nine-year chapter at Anfield.
