Liverpool FC claim 1.2 million fans in Hong Kong. Here's how they organise
For members of the Official Liverpool Supporters Club Hong Kong, it is an experience they will truly never forget.
The group's chairman, Ian McAlan, said the club had been full of surprises to ensure a memorable visit.
'On Tuesday, the club put on an event with Lucas Leiva and former women's captain Niamh Fahey that we were all excited about – but then, as a surprise, Kenny Dalglish walks in,' McAlan told the Post.
'Suddenly, this room full of adults turns into a group of five-year-olds as we're all completely awestruck.'

But it did not stop there. After another event on Wednesday, hosted by 2005 Champions League winners Jerzy Dudek and Sami Hyypia, there was an even bigger surprise on Friday.

World Aquatics Championships: Qin Haiyang wins China's first swim gold in 100m breaststroke
Qin Haiyang was crowned the men's 100m breaststroke world champion on Monday, winning China their first gold medal in swimming events at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. Advertisement And in the women's 200m individual medley final, China's swimming prodigy, the 12-year-old Yu Zidi, finished fourth and missed out on a bronze medal by 0.06 seconds. Qin's medal and Yu's impressive performance were silver linings in what was a largely disappointing day for Chinese swimmers, as big names missed out on podiums and failed to progress to finals. 'This definitely helps with confidence,' Qin said. 'I'm competing in three events, and they're all tough ones. Even if I didn't win gold today, I've done better than yesterday, and that's enough for me. 'In the last 10m, we were all spent; maybe this was when my technique gave me a little bit of an advantage.' From left, Italy's Nicolo Martinenghi, Qin Haiyang and Kyrgyzstan's Denis Petrashov.

Martinenghi came second in 58.58, and Kyrgyzstan's Denis Petrashov claimed bronze in 58.88 seconds.
