We’re suckers for a good guy so Andrea Dossena has gone right up in our estimations.
The former Italian international’s name might well spring memories around Anfield of goals against the like of Real Madrid and Manchester United but he’s still a man of the people.
Playing with Leyton Orient nowadays, the left back struck a fan in the face on Saturday with a ferocious shot ending up in the stand and he had no sooner hopped into the crowd to go straight up and apologise to her.

Rather than the 2-0 away victory at Walsall acting as enough of an amends, the former Liverpool man went one better when he sent her this bouquet of flowers as a further apology.
Beautiful flowers came today from Andrea Dossena @leytonorientfc please thank him for me #LOFC pic.twitter.com/cvqvplZ5Mk

Well done, Andrea. You’ve set the bar high for your peers.
