Ex-Manchester City player Barton named the most hated footballer in history
FourFourTwo has compiled a list of the most hated people in football history. Telecomasia.net reports this.
Former Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton was named the most hated player. The second place was taken by the former president of the International Football Federation (FIFA) Joseph Blatter, the third was the world champion in the German national team Harald Schumacher.
In fourth place is the former head of the Union of European Football Associations Michel Platini. Fifth was former Senegal striker El Hadji Diouf.
The material says that Barton was a good football player, but a negative person. “Putting out a lit cigar on a young player’s eye? Numerous acts of aggression both on and off the field? Frankly disgusting attacks on women in football on social networks?,” the journalists pointed out.
