Most hated player in the EL

**The Ball Boy** · 21/11/2006, 10:45 AM

Was talking to a few lads who follow a few different clubs on Saturday night and we ended up discussing / arguing who is the most hated player in the EL.

Owen Heary was the one guy that everyonr agreed on.

Any thoughts out there?

Must confess I thought George O'Callaghan would run away with this one.

**Mr A** · 21/11/2006, 10:55 AM

George O Callaghan for me too.

Must be jealousy in Eoin Heary's case as he has won 4 out of the last 5 titles..!!

**Dodge** · 21/11/2006, 10:57 AM

In no real order....

Roy O'Donovan, Shane Robinson, Dave Rogers, Jason Byrne, Colin Hawkins and David Crawley

Hate Heary? Is there a club in the country that he wouldn't get into? For me, it's anyone who plays for drogs but especially Connor and Gavin.

Des Byrne. Seems to just try and injure other players instead of playing football.

Alan Reynolds

In the 90`s our own Tom McNulty for some reason wasn`t very well liked, Cork fans 1991, Bohs fans 1993, any special memories ?

actually anyone else for that matter ?

I'm very disappointed that Rennie hasn't been mentioned yet and I'm sure he'd be disappointed too. Hated by his former clubs Cork, Rovers and Longford and hated by the likes of Bohs for having played with Rovers, etc. Also hated for his general 'tough-tackling' approach to the game and his tendency to deliberately wind-up the opposition. Probably even hated by many in Waterford.

What a legend

Him or Dan Connor for me.

With an honourable mention for Stuart (I'm so bitter it hurts) Byrne.

**Conor H** · 21/11/2006, 11:04 AM

Eric Lavine,Derek Mcarthy,Ian Rossiter.-3 players hated by every Galway fan.

Exactly, the incident with Killian Brennan in the Brandywell a while back and his elbow on JP Kelly are a few things that come to mind. He's a proper a'hole.

All-time Derry City public enemy number 1.

I think it was the moustache that did it.

He was a late 80's-early 90's Reynolds (multiplied by a factor) who went out of his way to wind-up anybody he came up against.

**Sheridan** · 21/11/2006, 11:11 AM

Hating Alan Reynolds is so 2004. He can't get arrested these days.

Buzzer Rowe, Andy Myler, Georgie Boy (I once got him substituted!

) and probably Molloy for me, although I admire the latter two's talent.

O callaghan and Rogers are the only two that irritate me

soundest men in football awards would have to go to Keego and Des Byrne - they could join any club and no one at Pats would have a bad word to say about them - genuinely decent - to call dessie a thug is just ludicrous
