Dele Alli 10 Fast Facts, Biography, Wiki
He grew up as a fan of ‘Liverpool FC’ and idolized midfielder Steven Gerrard. He was also a fan of ‘Chelsea’ scorer Frank Lampard. He is known to closely watch and study the playing tactics of great players such as Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, and Xabi Alonso to improve his own game. His father remarried in the US, but Dele did not get along with his stepmother. In 2016, he dropped his surname “Alli,” as he did not want to maintain the connection with his family. Some say that it was his girlfriend, Ruby Mae, who had prompted him to do so. He was approached by former Nigerian footballer, John Fashanu, to play for Nigeria in the beginning of 2015. However, he was inducted into the English squad for the ‘UEFA Euro 2016’ qualifying matches and could not play for Nigeria. In the 2015–2016 season, he was banned for 3 matches for punching ‘West Bromwich Albion’ midfielder Claudio Yacob in the stomach. He later apologized for the incident. He has also received several warnings for diving and simulation and has been accused of blatant cheating by some of his critics. Alli was born in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, to a Yoruba Nigerian father Kehinde and English mother Denise. Kehinde moved to the United States a week after Alli’s birth. Alli was initially brought up by his mother, who suffered from alcohol problems. At the age of nine, he moved to Nigeria with his father, where he spent two years in an international school before returning to Milton Keynes to live with his mother. Alli went to Stantonbury Campus and The Radcliffe School in Wolverton. At the age of 13, he moved into the family home of Alan and Sally Hickford, parents of another young footballer with MK Dons and whom he refers to as his “adoptive parents” although he was never legally adopted by them. In the summer of 2016, Alli elected to stop wearing his surname on his match shirts because he felt no connection with the Alli family name, instead opting for “Dele”. Alli was a Liverpool fan growing up with Steven Gerrard his childhood idol, and saw Gerrard and Frank Lampard as good role models on how they act as professionals. He is also a fan of British hip hop music, which led rapper Cadet to release a single referencing the footballer, “Advice”. On 13 May 2020, Alli was held at knifepoint during a burglary by two men who broke into his house in north London. He was punched and suffered minor facial injuries. The burglars stole jewellery including watches.
