Former Sunderland winger El-Hadji Diouf has today launched a stinging attack on former teammate Anton Ferdinand.
The Senegal man played with Ferdinand under Roy Keane during an unsuccessful six-month spell on Wearside where the former Liverpool man failed to score in 14 games.
Keane signed Diouf for £3-million from Bolton Wanderers in the summer of 2008 but Diouf was out of the door just six months later due to a series of poor performances and an even poorer attitude.
35-year-old Diouf has today had some strong words to say about his time on Wearside and in particular Anton Ferdinand.
“We were not fighting, I sorted him out, before we were separated. I said to him, ‘Let’s go to the gym, I will take you on.’ He did not want to. I said, ‘You are like your brother… you walk like him, you eat like him – write your own story.’
“Inevitably, it was difficult in terms of atmosphere, I spent six months there. We were not a team. There were little w*****s in the group who thought they were the best but they were crap. Anton, he was the number one w****r.”
Diouf has now retired from football, in a career which promised so much but delivered very little, with the Senegalese man remembered more for his controversial and destructive personality rather than his footballing ability.
