    Apr 19 2025
    Ross Halls caught up with former Ipswich Town defender Drissa Diallo to discuss his time at Portman Road, career as a whole and where he is now in our Kings of Anglia podcast special.

    Drissa spoke about a range of memories, including his early life in France, first steps in football and moving to Belgium to play.

    He chats about coming over to England for trials, signing for Burnley and impressing on his debut against Town which led Joe Royle to sign him in the summer of 2003.

    Overall, Diallo made 49 appearances during his two seasons at Town.

    The former Guinea international chatted about his other spells in England, before how he became a scout and his current role at Monaco.
