El Hadji Diouf’s lawyers might have their work cut out for them.
The Senegalese forward made an astonishing claim earlier this week against former teammate Steven Gerrard, accusing the Liverpool legend of being a racist.
“It’s common knowledge. Gerrard has never liked black people,” the former Liverpool, Bolton and Rangers player said.
“When I was at Liverpool, I showed him I was black, that I wasn’t English, but that I’m no pushover. All the time I was there, he never dared looked me in the eye.”
Gerrard has sought legal advice over the claims, and now George O’Callaghan, the former Cork City forward, has accused Diouf of fabricating the story.
O’Callaghan had a spell in as manager of Malaysian side Sabah, where Diouf is currently playing, and has called out the 34 year old over his claims that the LA Galaxy midfielder is a racist.

We can’t imagine Diouf will have too many glowing character references. Maybe it’s best you settle this one as quickly as possible El Hadji.
