midfielder
was a Senegalese professional footballer. His preferred position was as a defensive midfielder, but he could also play as a centre-back, where he played at Lens. Diop was considered a physically strong and aggressive player. His playing style, position, and ability drew comparisons to former France holding midfielder Patrick Vieira.
Diop spent much of his career in England, where fans nicknamed him \"The Wardrobe\" for his stature. He played Premier League football for Fulham and Portsmouth, and won the FA Cup with the latter club in 2008. He also played top-flight football in Switzerland for NeuchΓ’tel Xamax and Grasshoppers, in France for Lens and in Greece for AEK Athens.
Diop's second of a total of 11 international goals for Senegal came in a 1β0 victory over then-world champions France in the opening match of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, in Senegal's first match at the FIFA World Cup. He also played at four Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, finishing as runners-up in 2002.
