A player that bad there is no pictorial evidence of his time at Southampton.

The sorry tale of his time in England is the stuff of legend, he was signed after a man claiming to be FIFA World Player of the Year winner George Weah called Souness and 'tipped' him that his 'cousin', Dia, was available on the cheap. Souness swayed by such testimony signed the player sight unseen. It soon emerged that Dia was an amateur player and the 'George Weah' on the phone was in fact his agent.

He made one appearance for the south coast club coming on as a substitute and then being subbed off again when it became apparent that he was in no way good enough.
