I'm new to this. Not sure how to properly do this. Dia only played a game for Saints. Yet some joker went and put 172 and a bunch of goals. I'm going to change that to 1 w/ zero goals. ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:346:1000:32A0:2791:A78C:42E3:2C09 ( talk) 23:43, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
Are you sure this is the correct spelling of Ali's surname (isn't it Daei, Diea or something)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.72.206 ( talk • contribs) 14:41, December 6, 2004
That's the most common spelling if you Google it - maybe you're getting confused with the Iranian player Ali Daei? Qwghlm 18:30, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Ali Daei was a very good Iranian striker, Ali Dia was useless and Senagalese.
Two different people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.179.236.32 ( talk • contribs) 05:01, March 17, 2006
Are you sure you want to use cracked.com as a source, seeing it is a humor web site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.79.207.219 ( talk) 16:45, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
I don't see Cracked quoted as a source, most of the links are to British newspapers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.209.205 ( talk) 11:34, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Ali Dia. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).

Hello everyone,
A long-form investigative article has just been published by Bleacher Report: http://thelab.bleacherreport.com/finding-ali-dia/
in it, the journalist has done a lot of work investigating Ali Dia's career and story, including meeting Ali Dia himself. Insofar as the article's sources are valid and the journalist can be trusted (I'm sure the journalist can be contacted for her sources and it seems entirely trustworthy), much more information can be used in the Wikipedia page and it directly disproves many parts of this. I think some rewriting needs to be done. -- 146.162.241.244 ( talk) 16:54, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
Here it is stated that Dia replaced Le Tissier in the 32nd minute of the Southampton F.C. vs. Leeds United match held in November 1996 and was then himself substituted in the 85th minute. This means that he spent 53 minutes on the pitch. However, according to the Souness article, Dia only played for 20 minutes before being replaced. Does anyone have a link to the match report in order to clear up things?
