Most hated player by a club

[dontcallme]

Was thinking about the players really hated by a club. It usually comes down to a betrayal.

Sol will always be hated by our fans. Figo had a pig’s head thrown at him.

Paul Ince was intensely hated by West Ham and is a rare example for leaving the club for a non-rival.

Just thought I’d start thread to share stories of hated players by their former club’s fans.

Steven Berghuis by Feyenoord fans (made the move to their arch-rival Ajax last summer after 5 years at Feyenoord, he and his family even got death threats etc.)

Feyenoord v Ajax is next month and it wouldn't surprise me if he won't travel to Rotterdam for his own safety, the pure hate and agression there is something else when Ajax plays there.

Fiorentina despise Juventus for a number of wholly understandable reasons, yet have seen a number of their players go there over the years.

These are, to a man, seen as traitors, although Baggio redeemed himself to an extent when he refused to take a penalty against Fiorentina and was subsequently seen with a 'Viola' scarf, which, somewhat obviously, then caused him trouble with his own fans at Juventus.

Consequently, players who have left Fiorentina for Juventus have decided they might as well keep their new fans onside, rather than antagonise both sets.

Which is why when Federico Bernardeschi returned to Florence as a Juventus player, he was met with a banner which, roughly translated, read:

'Who wouldn't like to spit in your face, Bernardeschi, you shitty hunchback'.


Things have come a long way since Dante.

John Terry by literally everyone haha. I’m finding his sudden appearance on Twitter quite interesting and wondering what’s behind it. His agent as obviously told him to up his media profile.

Suarez, El Hadji Diouf, Ashley Cole, Joey Barton were all hated by numerous clubs and/or supporters and Mo Johnston didn't make any friends when he signed for Glasgow Rangers

Wasn’t Ince pictured in a Man U shirt before it was known he was going there ? That’s undeniably nasty but I don’t think it was his fault

Made old firm Derby’s box office!

I am pretty sure he gave an interview saying he would be on the streets if West Ham didn’t sign him. Then he left.

Oh if we are doing this kind of list, I’m in.

Arsenal - Smith-Rowe. Smug looking slappable face, and wannabe gangsta accent.
Chelsea - Mason Mount. Teacher’s Pet.
United - Bruno Fernandez. Stupid stuttered penalties. Again, a face you’d never tire of slapping.
Liverpool - Robertson. Dirty bastard.
City - Jesus. Once again, a really annoying face.
Leicester - Vardy. King of the chavs. If he wasn’t a footballer, he’d probably have married his sister and been on crimewatch half a dozen times.
Burnley - Ashley Barnes. More of a thug, than an athlete.
Newcastle - Jonjo Shelvey. Can’t forgive him for killing Snape.

I thought the purpose of this thread was for players who went above and beyond and created reasons for fans of a specific club to hate their guts, not just another "players I don't like" list.

? The Vardy one is spot on.

It is. Comprehension is not a strength of this site.

Threads are fluid beasts.

But to answer the question you posed. I don’t think you can really top Campbell and Figo. They both did the unthinkable and were loathed because of it.

 

[Buggsy61]

Just thought of Adebayor.!.
This guy could play and when he wanted to he was unplayable but that was usually when he wanted a new contract.
Never the fans favourite with us, screwed Woolwich over before going to City and then ran the full length of the field to celebrate in front of them after he had scored for City (that was so funny, as was his scrap with Bentdner in the 5-1 game). Sulked and under achieved at City as well after they gave him a great deal.
What a bum!, but a talented one nonetheless.

Scott Brown.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

El Hadj Diouf.

Bloke was an absolute bellend, everyone knew it.

If it's fluid you want then Steven Gerrard ex-player now manger commented when Brendan Rodgers left Celtic that he (SG) would never leave a club halfway through a season.

Money and fame nearly always matters.
