1. Running Down The Wing
Description
Nick Garnett begins an epic journey from Liverpool to Egypt and back as he tries to track down the ‘real’ Mo Salah.
Nick bumps into ‘another Mo Salah’ outside the Kop and chats to George Sephton, the voice of Anfield, who has to turn up the volume to 11 whenever Salah scores. And he travels to London where the King of Egypt’s golden boots are the latest exhibit to be displayed at the British Museum.
Conor McNamara from BBC 5 Live, Marc Gaier from BBC Radio Merseyside and Dan Kay from the Liverpool Echo tell Nick Garnett where they think Mo Salah is heading. Meanwhile Wael Hussein El Sayed in Cairo tells Nick never to use his first name in an Arabic speaking country ever again (it means ****)!

The ‘real’ Salah is found. Nick Garnett travels to Nagrig where the footballer grew up to find his charity is single handedly saving hundreds of people from poverty. The dream of winning the World Cup may not have happened, but Salah is treated as a hero by all who know him.
