Medi Abalimba

No we certainly didnt see him for 1million, although there may have been a long list of add-ons if he had done well and not turned to a life of crime

Let's not get melodramatic here. A life of crime is just that: a whole life of crime. He's still in his twenties. He hasn't turned to a life of crime, he's been a stupid young man over a short period of time, but still has time to turn it round.

If, on the other hand, he's still committing fraud and whatever else when he's in his, say, 50s, we can say he's turned to a life of crime.

Let's give the rest of his life the benefit of the doubt...

What a helmet

We did not sell him to derby for 1 million. Can somebody confirm this because this has been written time and time again throughout the duration of this case/story and I hope I'm not going mad. That never happened though, right!?

I'd guess we sold him for practically nothing but with a bunch of clauses such as if he plays x number of first team games we get £100000 etc.

To think at one point this guy could've been a footballer... Even if it isn't Premier League millions, it's still a dream!

Looks like he took advantage of her when she was in a vulnerable place. It's no different from 50 year old men being conned by some 20 something dollybird who wouldn't give them the time of day unless they're bleeding them dry.

They’ve now broken up and she’s accused him of stealing “tens of thousands” from her bank account and says the police are investigating. ‘Reformed’ and all that.

The astonishing story of Medi Abalimba, football fraudster

Medi Abalimba had multiple aliases, duped people into believing he was a Chelsea player and scammed team-mates, girlfriends and others

Tried to post the article but it's a LOT more than the 2000 word maximum!

Suffice to say: The Footballer Fraudster, part of ITV’s Swindles & Cons series, is available on ITVX from November 9

I can’t read the story but does it say that he also pretended to be a lot younger than he was…..?

Yes, says courts have his date of birth as 89, clubs thought 92

So 19 years old playing against 16 year olds etc
