Wonderful player.
Ali,Ali,Ali........
Ali,Ali,Ali........
He was an African 33 year old when he came to play for us from PSG.. A Brilliant player and instant success.. KK couldn't believe his luck as he cost No fee!... Everyone said he won't be able to play with Berkovic but he proved them all wrong and was the best player to grace Maine Rd since Kinky.... Great to see him at the game today.. Hope he can make all our home games as he is our Lucky charm!
From after we turned 'shit' until we fell very lucky Ali was by far the best player to play for us.
His debut V Birmingham was a sign of how good he was, seemed like he just turned up for the game and pointed to players to move into space....The rest is history.
Kinky was the other stand out player from the bleak times but Ali is the only player who would get a game and be a star in our current team.
It is true that our players used to stand and watch Kinky as they didn't know what to do/how to support him but he didn't help them either, as I posted Ali turned up and took control telling the players where to go.There were three stand out players for us that I've seen over the decades - CB, AB and GK! When the first two played I thought we couldn't lose. With GK yer'd see a wonderful player who just didn't have the others around him.
