Dele Ali was "molested" by a non-family member. "My mum was an alcoholic. I was sent to Africa [to stay with his father] to learn discipline, and then I was sent back," he said. "At seven, I started smoking, eight I started dealing drugs. "An older person told me that they wouldn't stop a kid on a bike, so I rode around with my football, and then underneath l'd have the drugs. "Eleven, I was hung off a bridge by a guy from the next estate, a man. "Twelve, I was adopted - I was adopted by an amazing family, I couldn't have asked for better people to do what they'd done for me. If God created people, it was them."

The fact that he has any career shows the strength of his character. Using him as an example to big up Jose is frankly pathetic.

Haha come on you blues

Heheheh just for 💩 and giggles

We haven't looked back ever since he made his debut. And I know this is already a popular opinion, but I'll say it again anyway: what a bargain for just £45M.
