Harry Maguire was back on familiar streets just before Christmas, delivering food parcels to pensioners in his home village of Mosborough near Sheffield.
The kind gesture was just one example of how Maguire hasn't forgotten his roots despite the rapid career trajectory that has seen him become an England international and Manchester United's captain.
After all, Maguire at his best is the living embodiment of Sheffield steel. Tough, dependable, unyielding.
And the forging of his career took place at Sheffield United, the boyhood club he will regrettably have to push another step closer to Premier League relegation at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
