Klopp's visit perfectly coincided with the Springboks return to South Africa from Japan, after claiming a record-equalling third World Cup win by defeating England in the final.

That same month, Kolisi, an avid Liverpool supporter, visited the club's famous ground, Anfield, where he met all the players and staff, including captain Jordan Henderson.  

Kolisi took to his official Instagram account to share the recorded video clip of Klopp wishing him and singing "happy birthday".
