Players with the worst attitude

[Tooting Gull]

Clearly inspired by the thread about everyone's favourite poison dwarf.

So who are they? Could be a single incident, or general demeanour. Likely characteristics: underachieved, unprofessional, money/drink/gambling-obsessed, not a team player.

A very quick top 5 (sure there are better out there):

El Hadji Diouf
Stan Collymore
Mark Bosnich
Winston Bogarde
Leon Knight (a worthy entrant).


Bubbling under - Gallas, Adebayor and Berbatov.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Mark Walton. He never showed any pleasure at being at the Club. When I saw him at one of the Falmer referendum he looked like he was waiting for the dentist. And he was useless as well. Rod Thomas made the best save for the Albion at the Priestfield.

 

[The Large One]

Pierre van Hooijdonk


Took stropping to new depths.

 

[steward 433]

Joey Barton

 

[CHAPPERS]

Winston Bogarde is my hero. He actually turned up every day to training, even if it was with the youth team.

CKR
Craig Bellamy

It feels like its just turning into players I don't like - but primarliy for their lazy attitude
Funny how they almost always seem to be strikers...

 

[Pavilionaire]

Kieron Dyer ticks every box and several others in the supplementary pages as well, as does Mr Bowyer.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Lee Bowyer

 

[steward 433]

Ben Thatcher

Ah, yes. Who can forget those two

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

this is turning into a list of my all time favourite players

my all time fave is pierre van hooijdonk with ALPAY being a close second

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Joey Barton

Ben Thatcher

not really.......neither have shown a bad attitude to playing, they're both just violent wankers

where is thatcher these days?

(having said that i accept that commiting GBH on a team mate shows a fairly lacklustre attitude to team play)

 

[Icy Gull]

Can't believe Anelka hasn't had a name check until now

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

oh oh

i liked it when gallas threatened to score an own goal on purpose in his chelsea days

LEGEND

 

[Tooting Gull]

Perhaps a mention for Florin Raducioiu, who went shopping with his girlfriend at Harvey Nichols on a matchday at West Ham instead of turning up at the ground. Top effort, and that means BIG POINTS on this thread.

 

[Scotty Mac]

gallas is brilliant, and is no doubt helped by being in the BEST position to pull of flair

his sit down protest at birmingham was inspired

 

[Scotty Mac]

mark bosnich deserves a mention, as well as adrian mutu

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Gallas and Defoe

But maybe Defoe is just a general dislike

 

[barney]

dean cox anyone?
