Pulsar Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The most obvious to me was Trevor Francis not signing Eric Cantana, Not supporting Di Canio when he pushed Allcock is a close second That certainly comes to mind but a far bigger mistake made by a football club and particularly by SWFC was made in 1889. We created a heinous offspring! Clegg out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taff_Owl Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 not standing by di canio then selling him for peanuts you build a team around players like that! Rose tinted glasses here. It's not as if Di Canio was the making of the team before the Alcock push, him and Carbone both ran hot and cold. It's just that the hot was very, very good. Lee Briscoe on the other hand..

Paddyowl Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Coventry City wearing that horrible chocolate brown kit..... This always makes me laugh..... Classic Moments: Southampton Legend Ali ‘The Liar’ Dia Makes His Debut, 1996 By Chris Wright It hardly seems like yesterday, but 18 years ago this very week saw the debut of a man who would go on to establish himself as an absolute, bona fide club legend at Southampton – in fact we’re fairly sure he’s got a statue outside St. Mary’s. If not, why not? That man, of course, was Ali Dia, who made his Saints debut on 23rd November 1996 in a Premier League game against Leeds United – coming on as a like-for-like substitute for the injured Matt Le Tissier with just 20 minutes played. Dia was signed by the legendarily shrewd Graeme Sounness after being personally tipped off by his cousin, George Weah, that Dia was a former PSG forward with 13 Senegal caps (and two goals!) to his name. Alas, it transpired that “George Weah†(who, it should be pointed out, actually hails from Liberia – some 2,000 miles down the African coast) was actually just one of Dia’s university mates, who somehow got hold of Sounness’ phone number and simply posed as the former World Player of the Year to deliver a glowing endorsement of Dia’s abilities. On announcing his signing, a pleased-as-punch Sounness (who is now paid handsomely to critique the game on television, it’s worth remembering) told the cameras: “He played with George Weah at PSG, and last year he was playing in the second division in Germany…so we’re having a look.†However, despite Sounness willingly signing Dia on a one-month trial contract, it transpired he was actually just a student from Northumbria University who happened to be living in Southampton at the time – which became immediately apparent when he replaced Le Tiss and took to the pitch. After around 43(!) minutes of largely ineffective lolloping, Sounness hauled Dia off again and subsequently tore up his contract there and then… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
