How a Fake Footballer Lied His Way Into The Premier League
Спорт
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".

No matter how many times I hear this story, it still gets me in hysterics every time seeing Dia get subbed on in a premier league match.

I've seen a few videos on the Ali Dia story but this is definitely the most detailed one I've seen. I never knew he did the same thing to so many clubs before Southampton! Great video
Need to make a video about Carlos Kaiser a dude who “played” for a lot of clubs in Brazil without even know how to play. Man... That was wild, dude was even the favorite player of a Mafia Boss that owned his club.
He could play for Everton now😮

I remember watching this game, as a Southampton fan I am used to low points but this takes the biscuit
Lol...after watching this hilarious video, i read up on Ali and found out I know his son! He plays for Ayutthaya Utd in the second tier of Thai League. 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!
Great documentary of a great player 🔥
Incredible. Impressive. If he scored that would be the icing.
He would have earned himself a long term lucrative career if only he was truly good at playing....

Regardless ya gotta give him some credit for the commitment/balls to ride the blag to the end!!! As bad as he was, what about those who fell for it?? It's not like it was just one person that got fooled its gotta be loads, and actually fooling so many people for years, it sounds like a tale some old fella in a pub would come up with!!

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

Mann i luv this story it's hilarious i imagine it watching him these trials
How did the narrator do it without laughing ?🤣🤣🤣
Today you still have trouble distinguishing if someone is relative to known football player because ppl dont speak much and pressure is higher if ppl find you are relative of someone
Here in South Africa 🇿🇦 many young footballers do that.They lie their way into playing for Professional teams juniors.I knew most who played for Kaizer Chiefs juniors.Most of them got caught and expelled.Once you get caught you will never play professional soccer ⚽ again.They used to make fun of security guards 👮🏿♂️,cleaners and women who worked in the laundry 🧦🧺🧤.Most went good academically 📚.Who knows what jobs they are doing now? I am just I never underestimated Security Guards 👮🏿♂️ because I ended up being one myself.
Y would being related to George Weah be reason enough to play ? It can merit a trial just to c if some of Weahs talent rubbed off on him or not and even this at the lower clubs. This story is almost too good to be true.

thats what i was thinking. most fooballers, well actually all of them, have at least some relatives who are trash at football
That someone claimed to be George Weah's cousin and none of those clubs bothered to contact George Weah for confirmation and went ahead to sign a player on that premise, means the clubs are even worse than this player. Total junk junk yard clubs.

This is an interesting story. Hey! I can't stop laughing😂😂😂
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.

Be a more careful when narrating and illustrating your story, the image at 10:05 referring to the Senegal National team is actually the Cameroon Team!
If he played and came on the pitch what has lying got do do with it? You constantly practicing with the team.
did he fake his skill?
Chelsea would easily pay £43 million for him as things stand
fun fact ali dia son plau pro soccer in thai league 2 hes carreeer are very pro
surprised Leeds didnt sign him
I thought they were talking about Kai Havertz
May be he is not good footballer but he is definitely good sales
I know another one of them at Manchester. Harry Dia. Harry dia get on that team. ???
Probably he’s now, one of the opposition leader in Africa
Best scam ever
Hes lucky his name wasn't spelt 'Dyer' , Souness would have thought it far too 'feniany' a name and not given him his chance.
Buddha bless. He never gave up onngis dream and the self motivation -) 😂

Grame Souness looks a fool, how Dya manage to fool an English legend. Dya had to do something good at training to even be able to dress out for a match. Ofc he lied but I believe he had enough ability to be given a chance. Players with zero technical ability do not get random chances constantly 😊

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
