Ali Dia of Blyth in fact managed to secure a transfer from Blyth to Southampton then managed by Graeme Souness who had never seen him play but bought on recommendation of his agent who pretended he was George Weah. He actually got a game being brought on as a sub for Le Tissier in the premiership only to be subbed himself later for being so hopeless. Souness remarked at the time. "Am I enjoying this? Do you enjoy being kicked in the bollocks?" Dia later did a runner from the club and was never seen again, but is remembered for being the worst Premier League player ever. It´s probably a good thing us managers can´t buy Spartan players!
