Ali Dia
Aly Dia (born 20 August 1965), commonly known as
Ali Dia, is a Senegalese former professional
footballer who played as a
striker. In November 1996, Dia convinced
Graeme Souness, then
Southampton manager, that he was the cousin of
FIFA World Player of the Year and
Ballon d'Or winner
George Weah, which led to him signing a one-month contract with Southampton days later. Dia played only one match in his short spell at the club. He came on as a substitute in a league game, but was then himself substituted. He was subsequently released, 14 days into his contract.
