Like the neighbour who loves to relax by a burning a mattress in his garden, or the creepy uncle who’s always in need of “just a few quid”, every football club’s fans know a player who is never, ever welcome. These are the players who are so disliked they even have special unfriendly chants composed in their honour.

Arsenal: Ashley Cole
The brainless left-back was spotted having dinner with Chelsea executives just days before Arsenal had a crucial clash with Manchester United. Bad case of greediness.

Aston Villa: Robbie Savage
Villa and Birmingham don’t agree on much, but one thing brings them together - a deep and pure loathing of Robbie Savage.

Birmingham City: Robbie Savage
Decided he needed to leave Birmingham to move closer to his ailing parents in Wrexham. His new club…Blackburn!

Blackburn Rovers: Kevin Davies
He did absolutely nothing at Ewood Park, scoring one league goal, before going down the road to rivals Bolton and enjoying a fairly successful career.

Bolton Wanderers: Robbie Savage
No particular reason. He’s just a wanker.
