Wataru Endo, the Liverpool midfielder, was spotted at a barbershop in St Helens, where he received a warm thank you from the staff.
Even though he was a bit of an unknown when he arrived, he quickly became a key player, helping the team snag the League Cup and return to the Champions League. While he hasn’t played as much this season, he’s still made a solid impact when called upon.
Endo seems to be settling in nicely in Merseyside. He’s even praised the locals for being “very kind and nice.” His recent trip to the barbershop is just one of the many ways he’s connecting with the community.
Barbers No 1 has become a go-to spot for footballers, with 15 locations in the North West, 13 of which are in Merseyside. The shop shared a fun pic of Endo with their team on Instagram, thanking him for stopping by.
Fans were quick to show their support in the comments, with one saying, “Nice, clean and refreshing. Let’s go Wataru!” It’s clear he’s winning hearts both on and off the pitch.
Over the years, many players have visited Barbers No 1, and it all started when one staff member handed a flyer to Roberto Firmino. Since then, it’s been a popular spot for players, and they’ve even traveled to cut hair for teams abroad. It’s a great little story of how connections can grow in unexpected ways.
