Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp sent a congratulatory video message to Wycombe Wanderers striker Adebayo Akinfenwa after his side sealed promotion to the Championship on Monday night.
Wycombe beat Oxford United 2-1 in the League One play-off final at Wembley to move up to the English second tier for the first time in the club's 133-year history.
In 2016 Liverpool fan Akinfenwa asked managers to "hit me up on Whatsapp and get me a job" after helping Wimbledon secure promotion to League One, having said he believed he was "technically unemployed".
But after Monday's win, the striker said: "Let me tell you something, the only person who can hit me up on Whatsapp this time is Klopp, so we can celebrate together."
Klopp said: "Congratulations, I watched the game and I didn't see the post-match interviews but Hendo or my players told me that you want... to get in contact with me on Whatsapp.
"Here we go: congratulations!
"I'm pretty sure you were your whole life at least a Championship player, and now finally you are there, well done. Great, great victory.
"Even in these strange times I hope you celebrate, appropriately!"
Akinfenwa shared a video of himself watching the message to his Twitter page, and afterwards said "Klopp, you're a legend!"
And Klopp wasn't the only member of the Anfield club to get in touch.
Virgil van Dijk tweeted "What a guy! Congrats big man!" while Henderson wrote "Congratulations big man!"
