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".
