10) Fernando Torres
Fernando Torres left Liverpool in a hole when he moved to Chelsea on a transfer deadline day in January 2011, virtually forcing them to move for Newcastle United man Andy Carroll, and part with an astonishing £35m in the process.
9) Carlos Tevez
The Argentine striker looked set to complete a permanent move to Manchester United, having spent two successful years on loan at Old Trafford. However, the striker instead chose to move to United’s cross-town rivals Manchester City – firing them to a maiden Premier League title and an FA Cup win.
8) Mario Gotze
The World Cup winning midfielder has been with Borussia Dortmund since the age of 9, but moved to arch rivals Bayern Munich in the summer of 2013 after the German champions activated his release clause.
7) Robin van Persie
After eight years as an Arsenal player, the Dutch striker moved to Premier League title rivals Manchester United, much to the surprise of an appalled collection of Gunners’ fans, understandably sick of seeing their best players leave.
6) Emmanuel Adebyaor
Who could forget Adebayor’s infamous length of the field celebration against Arsenal when he wore the colours of Manchester City. As if to rub it in, the Togo international then joined the Gunners’ North London rivals Tottenham.
5) Cesc Fabregas
Another former Arsenal player, Cesc Fabregas returned to the Premier League this summer after a spell with Barcelona, but decided on a move to the Gunners’ London rivals Chelsea, rather than returning to the Emirates Stadium.
4) Wayne Rooney
The former Everton forward declared in his youth: “once a blue, always a blue.” Over a decade into his Manchester United career, and his departure is still not looked upon kindly by fans of the Toffees.
3) Luis Figo
The legendary Portuguese international made the near unthinkable move from Barcelona to Real Madrid in the year 2000. He played for five years at both clubs, although fans of the Catalans only remember their anger at his departure.
2) Sol Campbell
After almost a decade with Tottenham, Sol Campbell became one of the most hated men in the club’s history when he left for Arsenal in 2001 – where he became part of the Invincible’s team and scored in the Champions League final.
1) Ashley Cole
The number one spot goes to Ashley Cole, who betrayed Arsenal for Chelsea in 2006 after allegedly being tapped up by Blue’s manager Jose Mourinho. The England man became an integral part of Chelsea’s team over the next eight years – winning domestic and European titles.
