Mamadou Sakho couldn't help but entertain his fellow volunteers by impersonating manager Brendan Rodgers while helping a local Liverpool charity
If
Mamadou Sakho's recent form in a red shirt isn't enough to win over the Liverpool fans, then volunteering at a small local charity should just about do the trick.
Having forged a mean unit in Brendan Rodgers' back line with Martin Skrtel and Emre Can, the man with the mohawk has taken to a different type of sweeping up this week. And it proves, once again, that footballers are often pretty decent human beings.
The French international turned up for an hour's hard graft with Liverpool charity An Hour for Others, doing a spot of DIY with locals. Sakho has always held charitable organisations close to his heart - his own charity, AMSAK, helps underprivileged kids in Africa, France and the UK.
Sakho told the Liverpool Echo: ”I came to support An Hour for Others because we share the same values, and they are doing a great job. On 27 February, AMSAK gave a shirt for the fundraisers, and we are happy to support this charity.”
While getting his hands dirty, one of his co-workers can be heard offering some advice to the imposing defender to which he replies "OK, coach."
Having established himself as one of the main characters in the Liverpool dressing room, Sakho then cheekily imitates Reds boss Brendan Rodgers, saying: “Mama - switch! Return the ball!”
Before completing his hour's work Sakho signs a shirt for the An Hour for Others team to auction off, with the message: 'Pour A.H.F.D, keep up the good work, Y.N.W.A, Sakho.'
