Interesting list - nothing on there I really disagree with. http://www.footballfancast.com/2012...-despised-premier-league-players-of-all-time?
Why is Rio Ferdinand not on that list? His comments about Ashley Cole being a "choc ice" were as bad if not worse than what John Terry said. And what about Roy Keane and Alan Shearer?
This is a strange one .... I' don't really find myself 'despising' Rooney, Ronaldo, Savage, Bellamy or Suarez for that matter .... indeed I don't despise many others on the list ...they have some characteristics I don't like admittedly .. but for me there are probably only 5 there that I really do think are complete ***** In no particular order Terry - just a low life who uses fame as an aftershave Bowyer - nasty little piece of work - basically a coward Wise - see Bowyer Ashley Cole - dangerous combination of being rich, greedy and thick, plus thinking that John Terry is somehow cool El Hadji Diouf - see Bowyer and Wise but with eruptions of mucoid spit ... yuk.
Savage was brilliant, oh how I loved the way he wound up the away supporters during the good old days.
You've got to have Joey Barton on your list. If it wasn't for the whole race row I think Barton would have been number one.
Good call - inadvertent omission on my part ... same as Cole but without the hero worship of toilet brush head Terry (although he might) ...
Marlon King and Lee Hughes barely played long enough in the Premier League to develop a hatebase though.
Still hate em ! And as for Blly Bremner (OK - I know it wasnt called the Premiership, but still ....)
Savage should be number 1, he's worked hard for that position. He was just a football villain though, as opposed to Barton and Diouf who are scumbags in real life too.
These players are great if they play for you. Savage being a prime example, winding up the opposition fans!
Glad to see Clattermole make this list - dirty bastard should be higher Don't really know why Drogba is in there, I personally didn't mind him. Wouldn't be surprised to learn the author of this feature was an Arsenal fan Michael Brown? Dirty twat but not high profile enough for me to hate him. I'd have had Roy Keane in there, along with Leeds' Alan Smith (overrated and a filthy ****) and Nolan probably - bet he's a right **** on the pitch
