Just how did he get a game?

He lasted one day at Bury. The list on the page gave me the name of George Weah's "cousin" who managed to get a game for Southampton - Ali Dia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Dia

There have been a fair few players who have left us all wondering, at times, just how did he ever get a game. Feel free to add to the list.

You have to ask youself why they gave him a contract after a 3 week trial if he was that bad.

Seems bizarre to go from scoring against Juventus in the CL to not being good enough for a short contract at Bury.

This is Kevin Blackwell we're talking about so who knows.

[handbags_harris]

Yep, the same Kevin Blackwell who said a certain Adam Le Fondre would never make anything more than a League 2 player.

All a bit strange what's happened there though, although he was signed on non-contract terms from what I understand. Still failing to comprehend how a player who has played in the Champions League cannot make a difference at Bury though...

Exactly, how can you have a player on trial for three weeks, deem him good enough quality to offer an agreement to and then ditch him after one reserve game?

..... Still failing to comprehend how a player who has played in the Champions League cannot make a difference at Bury though...

Unless he's going to take the whole opposition on and score single-handedly, it's as much about being part of a team and meshing with the other players than being a gifted individual. qv QPR

Marek Matejovsky for Sparta Prague v Chelsea last night?

How did he play for England...maybe?

You've a better eye than me if you know who this is.

















City, Leeds and England striker David White!

Mr White has not aged well.

[handbags_harris]

F*cking good player as well. Remember he ripped many a left back a new one in the early 90's for Citeh. White cross, Quinn header - the stuff of dreams for Peter Reid!

Wasn't good on crosses so never quite made it.

Didn't he score in Citeh's 3-1 win at Elm Park back in the eighties? Sure I remember him scoring a couple at the Town End. The week after they'd just put ten past Huddersfield.
