Did anyone dislike Santiago Canizares?
How about Damiano Tommasi?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Peter Crouch, with the notable exception of Trinidad and Tobago, seems well liked.
Needham back at it againPele
Ally McCoist always seems like a good egg when he's on commentary, just happy to be there.
Alan Smith. The former Arsenal one.
Seedorf.
Evra!
Gazza?

I'm torn about Buffon. He's always seemed a top lad, one of the most dignified figures in the game, but that fascist crap in his past is downright disturbing.
I was shocked to learn about all that a while back.

Really? Where can I read about it? Didn’t find any good articles when googling.
Even on a list that includes the Butcher of Bilbao, Simon Jordan is somehow the biggest cnut.
No lineker?
Miroslav Klose.
Pirlo. Universally respected as a player, then turned out to be hilarious when his autobiography was released
No love for Dwight Yorke?
Always seemed to be smiling.

Not the best bloke away from football according to a some accounts.
Not heard any of that. Oh well.
Jimmy bullard
Oh, and Peter Crouch
Oh, and Peter Crouch
I'd go with Alex del Piero.
From our lot, Van Der Saar, Ji Sung Park, Mata and Chicharito all seem very likable.
Zanetti, Xabi Alonso and Puyol were all so classy and seemed like real gentlemen.

Kolo Toure is probably the most angelic player we've ever had.
Crouch.
Further back Sami Hyypia was a giant among men literally and figuratively.

Patrice 'I Love this game ahahaha' Evra
He's really well liked at PSG!
I think PSG hate anything and everything to do with United atm
I think Frank Lampard once he grew up and matured has turned out to be a throughly likeable human being.
Italy had produced a lot of high-profile well liked good guys over the years, despite its longstanding association with a cynical and rigorous brand of football. There's Nesta, Del Piero, Pirlo (who have been mentioned already), and most notably, this gentleman (who was sometimes harsh but always fair on the pitch, and whose eulogies read like a saint's)...
Link.
Nah a lot of people liked him before and after the Ramos thing but when it dragged on and the diving got worse people turned on him
You mean he shouldn't have been making it public and that way other players wouldn't have found out about it and hence pledged their 1 percents too?
Treated women like urinals who were fortunate to make his acquaintance. Why would there be?
I'm not making myself populair with this one, but Wijnaldum? Always seemed like a very nice kid at Feyenoord. Giovanni van Bronckhorst also worth mentioning. Was thinking of Dirk Kuijt, always acts like some kind of saint but seems a bit fake to me.
At Ajax the obvious pick is Frenkie de Jong, but I think Lasse Schone is also worth mentioning. I like Joel Veltman too

Quite a few mentions of Pele, he seems like a fecking tit honestly. And I read quite a few stories that he greatly exaggerates his achievements.
Veltman, yeah, love him
Gini is a brilliant lad. Also agree on Frenkie de Jong, he's so nice it's almost cartoonish. Like he was made by that same dude that created the powder puff girls by mixing sugar, spice and everything nice.I'm not making myself populair with this one, but Wijnaldum?

How about our very own Sir Bobby Charlton? Booked once, which was rescinded and never sent off, and what an ambassador not only for United but for the game as a whole.
Then there is another Sir Bobby, Sir Bobby Robson RIP, the ex Ipswich Town Manager and England manager.
Two outstanding gentlemen of the game.

He’s a Cnut, but he did go up a notch in my estimations after that celebration when Messi scored that free kick earlier on in the week.
Ole as a player.
Oh Del Piero and Totti too (last one could get away with anything and still be cool)

What about Makélélé? Seemed like another one who went about his job quietly and was very appreciated by everyone around him.
Hes a diving cheat... no?
Scholes was a dirty little bastard that nobody liked, great player mind.
Mata.
Lovely player to watch and instead of talking just went and started a worldwide charity initiative.

I think Zinchenco and Bernardo Silva are the most two liked city players with fans from other teams, I think Kompany is a decent bloke but could understand why United and Liverpool fans may not like him.
Peter Crouch is probably the most popular English player, always ready with a funny quip and his podcast has really taken off. Kante, Son and Zabaletta I would think are well liked.
For United, Ole never bothered me, Mata is the same and seems like a decent all round bloke, as I think Pogba is but I think he's more disliked by some of his own fans than fans of other clubs.

That's crazy.
Are we talking here United fans, rival fans, neutral fans, fellow players, managers, reporters, royalty,...? I can see only rival fans hating the man, but feck them.
Anyone who doesn't support United.
I can hardly believe that at all.
Zanetti
