      Who remembers George Weah's "cousin" Ali Dia?

      Souness had high hopes for him at Southampton!

        **** yeah, he rang him up pretending to be an agent and said he had georgey weahs cousin and he was **** hot. manager of the century signed him and bought him on as a sub without ever seeing him play. Then had to re-sub him after 5 mins. i was pissin meself laughin for ages after that. souey strikes again!

          I think by the end of the season, he couldn't even manage to get into Gateshead reserves!

            I went on and on about this guy a few years ago. I was convinced he would be a massive player for us.

                  haha - to be fair whilst I was at uni I used to play footie with a lad who was a Coventry season ticket holder(at the time partridge was on loan) He raved on about and how he was the best player in the league - think he may have won their player of the season too.

                        Going back to the old Championship Manager days, I remember a Ghanaian called Nil Lamptey who was some sort of wonder kid at Anderlecht. I think he went to Coventry and did absolutly nothing.

                          If we are talking about CM prodogies then Tonton Zola Mokokou and Kennedy Bakircioglu deserve a mention. And from CM2/3 everyone who has been born and can claim dual Swedish/Turkish nationality has let me down.

                            Kennedy Bakircioglu - My all time favourite CM player. I still look out for him now!

                                Apparently in real life he had a trial at Man Utd. So in some ways I'm glad he never made it and sullied all my memories.
