There's absolutely no valid reason why anyone could or would dislike Paulo Maldini.

Maybe people dislike Milan? Isn't that why you dislike Larrson cause he played for Manchester United and Celtic? Same for Bobby Charlton? :rolleyes:

Surprised no one has mentioned him yet, but Peter Beardsley. Fantastic player, always playing with a smile on his face, and a legend at at least 2 or 3 clubs.

Beat me to it..absolute legend of a player and a genuinely nice guy.
Also Les Ferdinand, Dion Dublin, Maldini, Le Tissier.


Players to hate? Gerrard, Ashley Cole, Ian Wright, Joey "Scumbag" Barton.

As a Newcastle fan it sickens me to see that scumbag playing for us.

Mr Alan

i think Zola is a great shout

Dave!

I think Ronaldo de Lima is...

Is there anyone who doesn't like him? Obviously it'll never be completely unanimous, but most people love Ronaldo

BTW good call on that team of wimminz ^ up there... underboob = hot.

I'd say alot of Italians resent Zola for some of his "incidents" from the 94 World Cup and the 96 Euro's

I never said I dislike Larsson, I just said those two clubs could be a reason for it. I'm impartial to him, don't love or hate.

'Sir Bobby' I do hate. Can't stand listening to him. I think it may have been when United were gettin the Champions League trophy (or the Prem) last year and 'Sir Bobby' was leading the team up. Why?! How the hell had he contributed?! 'Nice gesture' blah blah crap. They even went to give him a medal! At least he didn't accept it I suppose. Just do not like him one bit.

George Best

Thanx 4 The Fish

I think you have now managed to find a player who is almost universally despised From the guy next down on the liver transplant list after seeing Best get a new liver and then getting drunk a lot to the wives who he was never afraid of taking his frustrations out on.

gixerfixer

Do you mean George "wife beater" Best.....Yeah there's a player to love and look up to alright

Chong

What about Shay Given lads, top keeper and seems like a good bloke.

I have it on good repute from a guy who went to school with him that he is (or at least was) an arrogant prick.

Hate? For that? Thats a load of cock. He was asked as was Peter Kenyon. "They even went to give him a medal", yeah "they" asked him. He refused it. And what was wrpng with such a jesture anyway? is that really a reason to hate the man ffs. And again the 'Sir Bobby' thing isn't something he asked for nor could refuse. Nitpicking and stupid comment imo.

All credit to midfield generals, but a certain blue side of Manchester and all of Liverpool might not exactly love him. Give them a another year and the Geordies will hate him too.

Peter Schmeichel anyone?

oh. and marco materazzi only player in the world who could be headbutted and still come out the villain. . .

A class act on and off the field ,
Always came across as a gentleman , Even Shamrock Rovers fans don't have a bad word to say about him
He played for a club called Bohemians in the Eircom League if you've never heard of him

Legend. After a year in Asia he came to Dublin and was an excellent midfielder. Had to retire early for personal/family reasons (his kids are very sick). Loved by one and all, Rovers and Shels fans included.

Charlie

Long since been a player, but is there anyone that doesn't love Sir Bobby Robson. Pretty much done and seen it all as a manager. I will never forgive Fat Freddy Shepherd for culling him (or the FAI for wheeling him out on Joe Duffy to take their flack).

An absolute top bloke when I met him, and still to this day is battling cancer, but doing it with a smile on his face. One of the stands in St. James needs to be named after him.

Chong

Hear hear Charlie lad, a true gent in my opinion.

Gary Neville is hated by anyone who doesnt support UTD because of his total lack of footballing ability and still being paid 70k+ per week and playing premiership football.

He's a ****ing wanker to boot.

packie bonner (maybe not rangers fans)

Seems to be widely disliked anytime a thread comes up about bumping into footballers around the place.

niall quinn?

nope.
