JAKARTA - Liverpool legend Sami Hyypia gave his supporters a lifetime of surprises. The former Reds captain served beer at the ski resort in a 'crazy' chance encounter.

Hyypia had just taken care of his business while on vacation in the northern Finnish city of Kittila when he spotted a tourist wearing a Liverpool jersey with his name on it.

But instead of just walking around and introducing herself, Hyypia thought of a much more imaginative way to do it.

He pretended to be a waiter and walked over to bring the fan a beer he hadn't even ordered.

At first, the Peter Dybvad supporter was confused, telling the waiter that there must be a mistake, before he realized who was standing next to him.

The entire restaurant - secretly made aware of what Hyypia's entourage was going on - exploded with thunderous applause.

According to journalist Rami Lehtinen, who happened to be sitting at the bar at the time, Peter was fully convinced that his fiancé had arranged everything, although he claimed not to know.

Hyypia spent the next few hours sitting and laughing with Peter and the two sat down to watch Liverpool's 3-1 win over Benfica in the Champions League quarter-final leg.

Hyypia arrived at Anfield in 1999 as a relative unknown, but quickly established himself as one of the Premier League's most reliable centre-backs.

He was appointed club captain in 2002 - before passing the tire on to Steven Gerrard a few years later.

The Finland international made over 450 appearances for the Reds before leaving in 2009.
