damn....I knew there was someone missing

Put him in your 11. He is a first class scumbag.

I'd agree with most of those, except Kevin Muscat who is an absolutely lovely bloke and actually a quite good rightback (ok he's a bit dirty but he could play).

Kieron Dyer is not well liked, deservedly.
Danielle Dichio is a complete tit, but more sad than obnoxious.
Robbie Fowler is an arsehole (everyone in Lpool has a story about him and how he like to play in the 'snow')
Malcolm McDonald is a wanker, you know the stories.
John Barnes wants to blame his ineptitude as a manager on the fact that he was black...why can't you admit you were crap John?

There's too many to list really.

Eh? No David Ginola? In fact, file all the French players under "obnoxious". French people on the whole are nice people, just not French footballers. And throw David Seaman in there with them too.

A bit dirty ??? a little of an understatement methinks

Wrong game, but--Steve Spurrier. He's the Asshole's Asshole.

1. Ray Clemence - Ugly fucker who played for both Liverpool and Totts.
2. Phil Neal - How ever did he get that many caps for England?
3. Phil Thompson - ditto
4. Ruddock - Thug
5. Ron Harris - had to get Chelse player in hear somehow
6. Bowyer - scum of the earth
7. Cantona - Should have been banned for life after the Selhurst Park incident, even though it was a Palace supporter.
8. Ardiles - bottle job and dirty bastard who elbowed more people than Eric Idle
9. Fowler - Bastard always scored against the Arse when he played for Liverpool
10. Steve Archibald - "Archibald is the Elephant Man doo dah doo dah"
11. Graham Rix - Only ever did two good things for Arsenal, the first was to cross the ball for Alan Sunderland in the last minute of the 1979 cup final and the other was to leave. Subsequently got put away for sleeping with an under age girl.

12. Bellamy - eugh
13. Gascoigne - An obvious choice, all that talent wasted for so much of the time.
14. George Best - Probably the greatest footballer ever but retired far too early and wasted the rest of his life, can now be seen on Sky tv as a sad pathetic little man.
15. Bruce Grobbelar - match fixer, but only makes the bench because he fixed it for Liverpool to lose

.

Manager - Sir Rougeface

George may be sad, but he isn't obnoxious. An awful choice! And Jan Molby has to be commended for going native.

George Best had gone way down in my estimations since he frittered away his second chance (did you SEE his wife...what a twat!!!).

What is it with Britain and their loveaffair with alcoholics...they're treated like modern day folk heroes. It's bollix.

Re: George Best. My wife bought me one of his many books last year - 'Blessed'

When I finished reading the Roy Keane book, I changed my views on him a little. I thought "hang on, this man is honest and actually makes some very good points, not least about the Irish set up" I softened towards him.

When i read the Best book, I went the other way. He is clearly a chauvanist who has a mistaken belief in his own self worth. He actually has the gall to complain about one Miss World being unfaithful to him!!
Sure, he was a truly great player, but life is about more than that. He has been no sort of father to his children, an awful partner to many women. Alcoholism is a terrible illness, but trading on it for thirty odd years is worse! I my opinion George Best is a career alcoholic and that does a disservice to those trying to tackle their problem.

I'm definitely not going to chance reading it then!!

Doof - All football autobiogs should be taken with a pinch of salt as most of them are ghost written. The best ones I have read are 'Left Foot Forward' by Garry Nelson (and the follow up), and Tony Cascarino's book.
