Mings seems a really decent guy if you ignore the whole head stamping thing.

Social media persona does not count!

If you do charitable things you should not seek any reward or recognition.

Like as a person is hard since I have mostly no clue. Like for how they play is a different thing.

He comes across as a normal guy in this. Not a really decent one or an indecent one. But whatever goes on in his head that encourages him to leave studs on people's faces is pretty solid evidence that he doesn't qualify for inclusion here as anything other than a counter example.

Based on interviews - McTominay and Shaw. McTominay is perhaps alittle too earnest, but he's got a decent head on his shoulders. Shaw seems open and a calm person.

Mata and Rashford have compassion and go the extra distance to help people.

Herrera always seemed passionate and grounded.

Are the many characters anymore? I loved Wrighty (seems depressed recently).

Kane's a nice guy. People have a downer on him because he talks like he's half way through taking an anaesthetic.

It is not a good thing if said charity is done for followers or brand building.
Orphans really should refuse to eat food that was given to them by charities focused on brand-building. That'll teach them!

Yep seems like a regular guy who fame hasnt touched. All you can hope for really.

Maddison seemed intelligent and outgoing in that interview recently, but whilst insightful I wouldnt be suprised if it was alittle self serving to raise his profile.

Kurt Zouma seems a likeable lad.

Not sure why Sterling gets mentions by the way. I feel this is a bit reactionary towards the hate campaign by the media that was focused on him, but is he really likeable outside of that? The first thing I think of when I think of Sterling are his constant dives — and I can't say that I'm warming up towards him when I this of those.

Mata is an obvious one from our lot — and he was equally likeable at Chelsea. Personally, I have a soft spot for De Bruyne. Son is another one who gives out positive vibes, although he has a few dodgy red cards that perhaps should challenge his image.

Outside of our own. I'd say Emi Martinez, Coady, Sterling and Son.

I imagine opposition fans may say Mata for us.
Opions eyy, I can’t think of a more dislikeable bunch than those guys you have mentioned.

I’d probably go for Mata, Kante, Rashford. You know what I’m actually struggling more than I thought I would, I really struggle to like anyone who doesn’t play for us.

I have no interest in any Liverpool player but after watching the below it's very hard to dislike Salah. Seems like a humble and a very nice guy.

Son? How? Not that kind of player with his 3 red cards in a year?

Mane, despite being a Liverpool player. Doesnt he live a relatively normal life and spend all his money funding his hometown?

I happen to be quite partial to the entire Burnley team. Had a lot more time for them recently

Cavani? I can't imagine not-liking him even if he played for a different team.

Edit: and Firmino. I like him because he guarantees a few ruined attacks for Liverpool.

Chelsea (the saviours of football) fan.
…........Foster.......
...Zouma..
....Kante
..Rashford...Mata

Can't think of any more. There's loads of innofensive and boring players but not really likable.
