There have been many bad transfers in soccer, but one of the worst was the transfer of Ali Dia to Southampton in 1996. Dia had convinced Southampton manager Graeme Souness that he was a cousin of George Weah and had played for Paris Saint-Germain. However, he was actually a non-league player with no professional experience. He was brought on as a substitute in a Premier League game against Leeds United, but was so bad that he was substituted off just 20 minutes later. He was released by the club the following day, having played just one game.
