It being quite a while since El-Hadji Diouf spouted absolute nonsense from a public platform, good to see the former Liverpool and Senegal player crawling out from the cave he accommodates to unleash a further tongue lashing on some Liverpool greats for no good reason.
Speaking to So Foot magazine, Diouf first aimed his cross hairs at current Bolton boss Neil Lennon. Asked by the publication about his run ins with the man, he continued;
“I didn’t know Neil Lennon but saw his face and have always hated him.”
Just a great opening line there….
“He was at Celtic and I was at Rangers and the two clubs were at war with each other.”
“He is a dickhead and I’ve never liked him.”
“At the end of the Liverpool-Celtic game in the UEFA Cup he asked me for my shirt but I never gave it to him. I would still not give him it today.”
Fair enough, though why sit so firmly on the fence?
That’s when the subject turned to his least favourite people in the world;
“Steven Gerrard is a great club player but an egotist as well. But he didn’t care about Liverpool winning – all that mattered for him was getting on the scoresheet.”
“The person I would least want to spend Christmas with is Jamie Carragher. I hate him.”
“He was the biggest turkey I’ve seen on a pitch. I found him useless.”
The biggest Turkey! Great stuff there from the most passive aggressive man in football, we really do hope he find his peace with the world. It would at least stop him behaving like such a bell.
