Ali Dia is the greatest trickster in football history. Ali Dia managed to convince everybody that he was the cousin of George Weah and was able to use this story to his advantage to play multiple different professional leagues including going from the fifth tier of French football to the English Premier league in just three years playing with Southhampton. Dia managed to use his George Weah story to convince Graeme Souness to let him play for Southampton and eventually got to play against Leeds United. In the match he would do as well as you would expect from a non league footballer playing in the Premier League: Horrible. His performance earned him the great quote from Matt Le Tessier: "He looked like bambi on ice".

As a former Thai League footie reporter, I know him well. Wow! What a coincidence! Ayutthaya are not a bad team, and Thai League 2 is a professional League offering very decent salaries for imported players. His son must be a 100 times better than his dad ever was!

Before 2000. A lot of people used to lie they played in some big club in a foreign country where its very unlikely they gonna check Like lying you played for dynamo kiev. Or olympiakos. Or galatasaray or sporting lisboa or some club in brazil etc If you had pictures of you with the jersey. Playing. And you looked believable. You could fool the club Its only thanks to worldwide use of internet (we can check stuff) and international calls becoming easy and cheap. That those lies have now trouble to succed since 2000

@segercliffhanger 10 месяцев назад

I hate to say it. This story has potential, it's a good find. I heard of it, but it's still an intriguing story. The way it's made and edited however looks and feels like pulp at its very finest and I'm not sure if that's intentional. As an example, don't fill empty space with empty memes. Everyone else is already doing that. Instead, shorten the narrative. Half of this vid length would've done the job just fine. I'll gladly take a slow Ken Burns zoom on a decent photo over some totally random beard wearing chip munching dude. BTW, in our age of AI, less than decent still material, and also footage, can be restored in often jaw-dropping ways. Please don't feel offended. Just my 2 personal cents. Keep 'em coming.

Souness is Scottish not english, and if i remember rightly they signed as an emergency player because of injuries, when they signed him they had a game the following day so he was put straight in the team has a sub it was in that game they seen his ability followed then by a few training sessions
