El Hadji Diouf, (one of the great characters of our game). I could write a book about his time at Leeds & might. He originally joined the club on non-contract terms in August 2012 after a trial period. This was despite manager Neil Warnock having previously massive bust up with him in a separate incident in 2011. He made his league debut as a substitute against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 18 August 2012. He signed a permanent 18-month contract in December 2012. During his time with the club, he was fined two weeks’ wages in April 2013 for making an offensive gesture to Brighton fans after scoring a penalty. El Hadji Diouf left Leeds in 2014 after he had made 42 league appearances and scored 5 goals. He is currently an ambassador for the Confederation of African Football (CAF). An early birthday present for El Hadji last night, when Senegal beat Egypt 1-0 in the semi final of the African Cup of Nations. Happy birthday and you still owe me mate.
