5 MOST HATED FOOTBALLERS.

Soccer players are superstars. Everywhere they go they get welcomed by crazy football fans. But some footballers don’t always get the courtesy. Below is the list of five bad boys of football.

5- CRISTIANO RONALDO

(PORTUGAL AND REAL MADRID)

Let me begin with by saying this guy has exceptional footballing talent. He has got just about everything that a footballer needs to be a legend. But unfortunately he is still boed at most away venues. First reason is, that many consider him a cry baby.  Second, some consider him a diver. Third, most consider him extremely arrogant. Fourth, he has been involved in some off field incidents even being accused of rape (a dishonest charge ofcourse). Fifth, just because he is Cristiano Ronaldo people despise him and don’t like him. Nice start to the top 5 i guess.

4-ASHLEY COLE

(ENGLAND AND CHELSEA)

Well he is a husband to one of the most beautiful known faces on earth. That earns him a lot of abuse from the fans which he at times hasn’t taken nicely. Also a furious character he is always involved in dissent related issues with the referees. Most famously at white hart lane, where after cynically fouling Alan Hutton, referee Mark Riley yellow carded him but he showed disgraceful attitude turning his back on the ref and shouting abuse. He was also involved in a transfer saga between arsenal and chelsea. He left arsenal in controversial circumstances which had people hating him in north london.

3-MARCO MATERAZZI

(ITALY AND INTERMILAN)

Materazzi as we know is an italian centre back who plays for inter milan at the club level. A giant 6 foot 4 inch structure that is not really revered by all. His ill time tackles and constant ill will with strikers is known to all. But i know you all remember him for his alteration with arguably the greatest footballer of all times Zinedine Zidane. First he pulled the shirt then he abused the three times fifa world player of the year’s sister. Then he got the head butt which resulted in Zizou’s red card that according to many decided the fate of the 2006 worldcup final.

2-JOEY BARTON

(ENGLAND AND NEWCASTLE UNITED)

Well Joey Barton is one hell of a controversial character. He has been jailed and charged of affray as well. He has been involved in bust ups and brawls with team mates like Osman Dabo which resulted in scars and face injuries to Dabo. He was involved in a

brawl in a night club with a reserve team member Jamie Tandy. He was accused of putting cigar’s ash into the eyes of the poor Jamie. He called the all time leading goalscorer in premierleague history Alan Shearer a “Shit manager” while being a player of Newcastle united where Shearer is second only to God. Enough said i guess.

1- ROY KEANE

(REP OF IRELAND AND MANCHESTER UNITED)

The former captain of republic of ireland and manchester united had a unique distinction of being loved only around old trafford. Everywhere else he was regarded as the bad boy. He himself once admitted to “excessive drinking” , the reason behind his short temper. Although extremely successful on the pitch with some very nice guys like Ryan Giggs but he still was very controversial. The biggest controversy arised when he got kicked out of the irish squad just after landing in korea-japan for the 2002 world cup by Mick Mcarthy now the manager of wolves. He will also be remembered for his malicious tackle to which he admitted to himself on man city player Alf-Inge Haland which broke his leg and later ended his career. The video below shows just why he wasn’t loved.
