Sami Hyypia’s gesture to donate £23,000 to rescue a Merseyside hospital charity appeal quite rightly won the veteran defender plenty of plaudits.
It came as no surprise to those who know him best that he dug deep into his own pockets to help fund the planned building of a seven room Ronald McDonald House at Arrowe Park.
The big Finn has been a model professional from the moment he first set foot in Anfield and his status as one of Liverpool’s greatest servants has long since been established.
The 35-year-old Hyypia’s playing days may now be coming to an end but his commitment to the club he has served for almost a decade and the Merseyside area in which he has lived during that time remains as strong as ever.
Should a position come up on Liverpool’s coaching staff in the near future could anyone think of a more deserving candidate than a genuine Reds legend whose character is so widely admired?
