Top Ten Most Hated Footballers

2. Joey Barton

Barton has often courted controversy over the years thanks to his spiky nature and motormouth. A history of violence has often followed him around as on pitch incidents of punching opposing players were sandwiched either side of his stubbing a cigar out on the eye of a youth player whilst at Manchester City. Since then he has just annoyed everyone with his transition into an annoying hipster faux-intellectual on social media. Bore off, Barton!
