Is the winner. One of the greatest football stories ever. Potter played for Southampton in the famous Ali Dia game. Souness was conned by a phone call allegedly from George Weah, claiming Dia was his cousin and had been playing with him at Paris St Germain. Weah had never heard of him. Dia had in fact played one trial game for Blyth Spartans and was so pony they'd let him go. Dia became an absolute legend for making Souness a laughing stock. The shirt he wore for that game must be worth a fortune.
