if anyone can come up with all 22 minutes footage of him on the pitch and post it on UA-cam, football fans everyone will be indebted to you forever. That is comedy gold. I remember watching that whole game and not thinking anything of it. I thought he was just an new unsetlled foreign signing. I laughed my ass of reading about it later. So please if anyone has footage of that match, PLEASE POST IT!
The only performance i've seen in the Premiership comparable to Ali Dia is Renato Sanchez for Swansea against Chelsea, in the game where he passed the ball to an advertising board thinking it was a player. Another comparison is Bebe's last game for United, in the cup agaisnt Crawley Town.
@@CodPatrol he wasn't a footballer though was he it was a wind up some fan who ended up playing happened at West ham different situation fan abusing lee Chapman get him off he's etc shit Harry redknapp said if you can do better get changed he got him some boots took Chapmam off and put the guy on in a friendly the fan was far worse than Ali dia but actually scored for West ham something Chapman didn't in that game
At the time, the "George Weah's cousin" line was a popular one amongst certain African agents. Most of these scams didn't slip through the net, though. (Dia himself had been rumbled by trials at Port Vale, Gillingham and Bournemouth before Souness took him on.) As for afterwards, he did indeed play for Gateshead for a few months, before giving football up for a business degree course at Northumbria University. (He successfully passed, for once!) Since then, he has slunk back to anonymity.
lathamnufcHD Henderson captain for LFC, deputy captain for the national team. Might add that Hendo is also a important keg in the machinery Klopp has created now, you still stand by your stupid ass comment 4 years later?
lathamnufcHD I’m a Utd fan so I wish I was 7 years in the past slating Henderson and downing too mate. Now you’re European champs and watching Man Utd implode.... 😭
It wasn't a difficult chance though. Most players of average ability could muster a shot on target from where it was. Even I could and I'm a 5 a side player 😂
Except on the pitch he simply was a genius. Didnt train, didnt run, didnt dive, didnt move clubs, he simply didnt need to, because he didnt give a shit, it was all too easy, he's a legend and always will be: ua-cam.com/video/THwoWCbFRfo/v-deo.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
@bigballsjosh I don't know. Just imagine this guy, Silezni and Jason Lee in a front three together. Possibly with stuart Ripley plodding down the right to cross the ball into them.
One thing I will say about Matt Le Tissier is he may have been a great player but when he came into the betting shop I was working for he was miserable and arrogant beyond belief.
I met him once while I was working as a building surveyor, and he was polite. Cold, but polite. I'm quite introverted so I didn't push any conversation but I can imagine him being a misery.

gibranm Was he shit tho? Was there anyone else having a worse game on the pitch or nah?
@@CodPatrol the worst defender on the team could do a better work on the striker position

imagine ali dia watching this now
He'd probably screw that up somehow
He must watched it once
This is my favourite football story ever
Does he respond 5 years later
we want the complete footage of ali dia fist and last PL match
Meanwhile, later in Ali Dia's biography playing experience history :
Last played : Southamton
Number of games : 53 times
( instead of 53 minutes ).
.
an easy way to do this is to ring up portsmouth and say you will play for free
He's probably get into saints team now, though...
When your troll game is even stronger than Le Tissier's, that's impressive.

they were poor and needed to feed their families by any means necessary, like scamming some rich football clubs
Ha Ha... Id still give him 10 mins...
What a great player, even as a Millwall fan, Le Tiss is one of my favorite players ever.
Do you respond 10 years later
He was briefly married to my 2nd cousin in San Francisco. Madness
3 people got subbed off for ali dia
Imagine if he'd scored that chance though
Best stitch up ever
Got many Alli Dia’s at Forest 😂😂
He was pretty good for Gateshead. Just a conference player really, not a premiership player.
if there are any southampton fans reading this when you go to buy this seasons shirt i recomend you get dia 33 on the back.
Lucky he's not around now otherwise Liverpool would've bought him for 20 million. Coundn't be much worse than Downing or Henderson tbf though.

Behemiron that comment was 4 years and tbh Henderson still average
lathamnufcHD hei.... After 6 henderson become the best in liverpool and england...
lathamnufcHD haha don’t judge too early Mr.KnowEverything
lathamnufcHD I’m a Utd fan so I wish I was 7 years in the past slating Henderson and downing too mate. Now you’re European champs and watching Man Utd implode.... 😭
With a back four of Laurent Charvet, William Prunier, Djimi Traore and Didier Domi in front of him. I'll leave the midfield to you mate
Le Tiss legend!! love soccer saturday
When you said this comment I was 3 damn
Souness still tells anyone who will listen to him he wasn't conned. Nobody believes him.
and you wonder why souness cant get a job anywhere????
Why don't I know this story lol can't write this
UA-cam recommend me :)
Hahahahah who else 2021?
2022 for me
Matt le tissier. The world's best... penalty taker.
Matt le missier
He never.
He came on as a sub around 20-25 minutes in for the GREAT Matt Le Tissier and then was subbed off around 53 minutes.
he came on after 32 minutes and subbed at 85'. He played for a total of 53 minutes
At least Winston Bogarde has won the Champions League
I would really like to see Ali Dia "in action" =)
This comment is older than my life
He almost scored. He wasn't that bad.
It wasn't a difficult chance though. Most players of average ability could muster a shot on target from where it was. Even I could and I'm a 5 a side player 😂
he did almost score with what was I think his first touch, but looked dire from then on, barely getting a kick and losing every 50-50 he went in for
Do a solid and respond 14 years later
thank god souness wasnt managing liverpool at the time, or by the time there would have been a team full of ali dias...
How about now?
Matt Le Tissier wasn't the biggest football genius either hahaha

What about now?
i think ali dia was popular with leeds fans
Leeds would probably have been happy to sign him a few years later. Ridsdale would probably have offered him £50,000 per week.
At least Ali Dia is not unworthy as Winston Bogarde
That's a gay method to won a medal.
Classic 🤣🤣🤣
oh, does he?
Is this guy lying? Says "after 20 min I came off, and before half time Ali dia was take off" then it says "Ali dia played 53 minutes" wtf?
No-one knows.
but not anymore though
soo funny!
all the credit to ali. made a some easy money i guess
Very bizarre ❤️
He won it playing for Ajax........ Chelsea's never won it....
Ok
Southampton wasn’t good anyways should’ve given the lad more time to get in form he would’ve been a Southampton legend but they wasted his talent
One thing I will say about Matt Le Tissier is he may have been a great player but when he came into the betting shop I was working for he was miserable and arrogant beyond belief.
I definitely believe that with the way he acts in this
I met him once while I was working as a building surveyor, and he was polite. Cold, but polite. I'm quite introverted so I didn't push any conversation but I can imagine him being a misery.
isn't it so ironic that the GREATEST player came off for the WORST player who BOTH players played for Southampton FC? or is it just me thinking that?
Gigi Viola 1985 he definitely isn't the best player, he was really amazing but not "the greatest"
@@manu4867 I think he meant for Southampton only.
