Next up, is Elmohamady's current teammate at Hull, David Meyler, who's story is a disappointing one, rather than outright loathing of the guy. After a string of rough injuries, it was Sunderland who stood by him, and the fans bizarrely adored him for his interactions on social media. Meyler stood with the Sunderland fans at St. James' Park for the derby, claimed to love the club, and gained a low-key cult hero status despite barely ever featuring for the first team. But like Elmo, his antics on the pitch against his old club have been questionable, with his sole focus seemingly to get former-teammate Lee Cattermole sent off during the encounters, and a vocal chunk of the natives on Wearside made their voices heard at the KC Stadium.
