With a name like Alli I am guessing that is is a muslim so maybe these personal reasons are because he is ashamed of islam given the recent spate of attacks in their name
Omg lol. Mate, have a word with yourself. If you're trying to cause a shit storm you've failed.
If you're trying to make yourself look a total fkin brain dead bell end you've succeeded. Good day to you Sir :ROFLMAO:

His trolling is getting a little bit obvious now, he kept it up well for a while but he's let himself down.

Pretty brutal climb-down for Bentaleb to have 42 ,then 6, then 42 again. He won't be here come deadline day.

First thing that came to my mind, admittedly i have had a few beers but why would he be ashamed of the name Alli?

No where does it say he is ashamed, just for personal reasons he is using dele.

His dad has had little or nothing to do with him since he was very young and his mum gave him up to a foster family when he was 13 to help him turn pro because she knew she wasn't resourceful enough to be anything other than a hindrance to him.

EDIT: From a Torygraph article on Dele:

His Nigerian father Kenny moved to the United States a week after Bamidele Jermaine Alli was born. So there was no paternal influence in the family home. Afflicted by alcohol issues, his mother left the young Dele to fend for himself.

He's not ashamed and he told you the reason. He has little affiliation to his father although I don't want to go into detail but unless something happened very recently his father has always been in his life all be it not in person.

Personally ( this is my opinion ) he just preferred to have his first name and using the family thing as an excuse to do it

Thanks, didn't know that stuff/family history

Assumed, wrongly it seems, that he had denounced islam or some other religious reason

I did not know the reason, have never read an article on him so kinda put 2 and 2 together that religion might be reason behind this

Turns out that he is not even a muslim, assumed Alli was just a variation of Ali

Looks like i was spectacularly wrong

Any time I see the name 'DELE' on his back, I'm going to start thinking 'deli' and pop out for a sandwich or snack. If I put on 15-20 pounds over the course of this season, I'll know who to blame.

BTW, the person who did that New Media graphic on the Forums page got the sequence wrong. WALKER-PETERS should be between WALKER and WALKES.

BTW, every time I see you post, I am going to think "Pedantic", and when I punch my screen, I think we will all know who I am going to blame...
