Who is the player who played for your clubs most hated rivals but you still can't help but have a soft spot for?
Mine would be John Barnes. Such a classy player and by all accounts a good guy as well. Met him a couple times and was very humble and friendly. The Caribbean accent probably helps too. Too young to have watched him in his prime but caught him at the end of his career at Newcastle etc. He's in that group of greats that played before the premiership and internet so gets less credit by the casual football fan.
