A lifelong Everton fan who has dedicated his life to caring for people across Merseyside received an extra special surprise when his hero Graeme Sharp showed up at his retirement party.
Dr Alan Fryer, dubbed ‘The People’s Doctor’ by his colleagues, recently retired from Liverpool Women’s Hospital after 26 years’ service as a consultant.
Staff at the hospital hosted a retirement party for Alan on his final day in work and invited Sharpy along to make sure it was a memorable send-off.
He presented Alan with a signed shirt before saying a few words about how his lifetime’s work will have a lasting impact on the city of Liverpool and beyond.
