Released apparently, good enough for the spiteful bollox.

One of the most bizarre signings of recent times. Bit like when Graham Souness got hoodwinked at Southampton (was it?) into taking that foreign fella who had never played before!

I heard something about that a few years go. What happened?

Ali Dia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Dia

Dia was signed by Southampton manager Graeme Souness, after Souness received a phone call purporting to be from Liberian international and former FIFA World Player of the Year, George Weah. "Weah" told Souness that Dia was his cousin, had played for Paris Saint-Germain, and had played 13 times for his country. None of this was actually true, and the phone call was made by a fellow university student of Dia's to Souness, suggesting that he should give Dia a chance with Southampton.[2] Souness was convinced, and signed Dia on a one-month contract.
Dia played just one game for Southampton, wearing the number 33 shirt, against Leeds United on 23 November 1996; he had originally been scheduled to play in a reserve team friendly against Arsenal, but the match was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch. In the match against Leeds, he came on as a substitute for Matthew Le Tissier after 32 minutes, but was later substituted himself (for Ken Monkou) after playing for 53 minutes

That move by Veseli worked out well.
