But cannot.
My vote goes to Ricky Ponting. The memories of the 2005 Ashes came flooding back when I watched his masterclass recently.
He loved a row and a squabble didn't he. That culminated him being run out by a sub and then hurling abuse at the England balcony as he walked off.
What a warrior and a brilliant batsman; he certainly added spice to what was already a great test series. He does seem like an alright fella just a bad loser. Not much wrong with that I suppose.

    Suarez - Scumbag but bagged me a load of money for winning my dreamteam league last year!

    Ha Ha. Money forgives everything!

    Ashley Cole. Not a particularly good person from my experience, but I think Hodgson and Chelsea have both f****d up. He's the most consistent world class player England have and I genuinely feel sorry for him, even though I know he doesn't need pity and will find a top new club and earn even more money. But I can't help it. I think he's been treated poorly.

    it's the same with most aussie cricketers to be fair!

    Add Mitchell Johnson to that list, seems like a massive twat on the pitch (merv hughes moustache solidified this for me) which attracted the barmy army's famous song about him, but my word, what a bowler he's become! You can't hate on some one with that much frightening pace and talent. Seems a nice, calm bloke off the pitch though which actually made me feel sorry for him when the barmy army tore him a new one early in his career.

    Agreed. It was funny though. Mind you, did he get his own back and some!

    Mike Tyson - massively dislikable character but (when young) one of the most devastating boxers of all time.

    Barton. The things he's done are disgusting but i do enjoy seeing him rub people up the wrong way.

    I know people who have met Ponting off the field and they say that he is an absolute diamond, can't do enough for you and is very self-deprecating - but I f-----g hated him when he played!

    However, I can confirm that Matt Hayden is as much of an arsehole off the field as he was on.

    Thats nice to know.It would have been a let down if you said that Ponting was a bit of a prick.

    Thierry Henry, really annoyed by the Ireland thing, but what a great player.

    That was the best thing he ever did.
    Other than that that I could not stand him.

    Balotelli, Ibrahimovic, Luiz.

    Great fun, all of them.

    Good call, as were Ponting and Warne.

    I really like Dani Alves too, who I know a lot of people hate. He's a sneaky little cheat, but I find it entertaining the way he does it and he seems a good laugh.

    I honestly can't think if anyone I ought not to like that I don't. The drug cheats, the rapist, the racist, I don't like any of them.

    Sure. You didn't really think he was a footballer did you? ;-)

    Shane Warne - Unplayable on his day. Was a joy to watch when bowling.
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    Bob Peeters...wanna hate him, got to love him (the initial battle of conscience took a week - he was my ace card used to beat Millwall supporters with - "wow, ur fans are rude, I see one of your top boys is even playing upfront").

    And my gosh he was pony

    Ramos and Pepe, a class centre back pairing for the biggest club in the world but one tackles almost as bad as Scholes half the time(Ramos) & the other spends much of the game rolling on the floor like the sniper has just got him.

    Should hate them but find them funny.
