Also I have keep the list to only players how have played in my soccer-watching lifetime, I cannot fairly judge players I was not able to see.
Goalkeeper-
Gianluigi Buffon
No I can't really teal you what I so thoroughly dislike about him, I mean he is only a goalie. But he is an ITALIAN goalie and as such is absolutely insufferable and responsible for the success of Italian teams (both club and national teams) and therefore he is my least favorite keeper of all time
Defender -
Patrice Evra
Evra suffers from similar problems as Buffon; he's French and plays for Man U so any success he has makes him more unlikable. There seems to be a bit of entitlement to Evra as well, he is certainly a very talented defender but his success probably has more to do with his superstar teammates than him.
Matrin Skrtel
Just look at this guy. He looks like kind of douchebag who drives a pimped out Eclipse and would brag about scoring with the ugliest chick at the bar, and your sister.
Joleon Lescott
He left Everton to glory hunt at City, something a classier player wouldn't do and there is just something thoroughly unenjoyable in the way he plays.
David Luiz
Luiz reminds me of an annoying high school player: you put him on defense but he think to himself "screw this I'm gonna score" and you find him always standing in the other teams 10 yard box with a confused look as to how they just scored.
Midfielders
Franck Ribery
Ribery could be one of my favorite players, he's very talented and plays an aggressive, physical style of soccer. The problem is once he draws said contact he roles around on the ground for 5 minutes like someone cracked him in the knee with a ball-peen hammer.
Gareth Bale
...on the other hand. Gareth Bale is one of the worst divers I've ever seen, at least Ribery actually waits for contact. What's more frustrating is the level of talent he's wasting on flopping.
Daniele De Rossi
Do i really need to say why?
but just in case you wanted to relive the rage:
Scott Brown
Few players in the game today symbolize the Old Firm hate as much as Brown. And you can tell me that if a guy did that to you in a bar you wouldn't slap him in the face.
Forwards
Peter Crouch
Is there a more overrated player in the history of the game? A little bit of talent and a whole lot of tall.
Nicolas Anelka
Generally insufferable French striker and leader of the Second French Revolution
Also I don't have particullary warm feelings for his brother.
Reserves
Artur Boruc
overrated, physically gifted but dumb as rocks
Georgios Samaras
I couldn't find a picture where he looked less in need of a bath
Marco Materazzi
I'm sure Zidane still doesn't regret the headbutt.
John Hartson
despite clearly being the inspiration for Shrek, Hartson was little more than a talentless goon. His only real 'talent' was huge. He's like a less talented, fat version of Crouch
Paolo Di Canio
I got that picture from Stormfront.... there is a whole forum thread devoted to him there. Not debating him, but gushing their love for him. He is of course the most despicable player of my lifetime, but being that he is an insignificant little bigot I can't muster up enough interest in him to put him in the starting 11.
