The All Whites defender's profile skyrocketed after Argentian influencer Valen Scarsini, known as El Scarso, told his followers to back upcoming World Cup's most-talked-about, least-known player.
Payne, in Florida ahead of the All Whites' second friendly match this weekend, met with Scarsini at the team's hotel on Wednesday and said he's still trying to wrap his head around it all.
The pair communicated partially via a translator, with Payne, who speaks "a little" Spanish, thanking Scarsini for all he has done and presenting him with an All Whites football jersey.
