Күн бұрынLeaving your mark in the Premier League is no small feat. Most players, regardless of their talent, need a few hundred caps to even talk about it. Not this player though… Because all he needed was about 50 minutes to achieve legendary status. This is the story of the worst player the Premier League has ever seen.

I was at the Leeds game. The part of the story most people miss is that Dia actually HIT THE POST in that game. I remember saying to my cousin at the game "that was a good start". Imagine how much (even) more amazing this story could have been if that shot had gone in. We thought he must be injured to be taken off but that's because we were watching where the ball went, not what Dia himself was doing. By the way that fan song "he's a liar" is from Gateshead fans, he joined them afterwards.

As a Newcastle fan, I can't stand Souness. Destroyed Bobby Robson's team out of pure ego. Not to mention his corrupt purchase of Boumsong from Rangers. We might never have ended up with Mike Ashley as owner had we appointed someone more capable of replacing Bobby Robson... or better still, kept Robson another season or two.

If this guy played in the 5th tier of French football he simply can't be as bad as they are making out. I know top amateurs and Jr strikers that are obviously nowhere near Primer league but they wouldn't look like fools that couldn't kick a ball.
@richardg8376 4 ай бұрын
It's relative. The gulf between Premier league football and the 5th tier of French football is gigantic. When they say he was awful, they mean awful by premier league standards. I think Dia did end up playing non-league football in the UK, somewhere around the 7th tier. Even those guys would look amazing up against a Sunday league team, but pit them again the top professionals and they'll look like some random guy pulled off the street.
@Cross-Carrier 4 ай бұрын
@@richardg8376 I don't think they would mate. If you took the top striker from say the Scottish championship and played him for one game off the bench for a lower English Premier league club then he would never play again obviously but he wouldn't seem so out of place that his performance at training and the part of they game he played were so memorably bad decades later. He just would be no where near good enough. I just think the whole thing with this guy has become a myth, a legend that did grow arms and legs because of the bizarre stuff surrounding it.
