It’s bad enough that the Senegalese striker had a big mouth, poor attitude and appalling dress sense, it’s worse that his goalscoring record was literally non-existent. In 55 appearances for Liverpool, El Hadji Diouf, who was a striker lest we forget, only managed to score 3 goals. Yes, THREE goals from a STRIKER in FIFTY-FIVE appearances.

Moments of madness rather than moments of brilliance defined the striker’s career at Anfield. He will forever go down in history as the man that spat at a fan, leading to a formal police investigation. Without question, El Hadji Diouf should have never signed for Liverpool and the Reds should never have wasted £10m on him.

Now the former Senegalese international spends his days running his mouth about Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard, the man will literally do anything for attention.
