5. Wayne Rooney
Martin Rickett/PA Archive/Press Association ImagesAfter scoring a goal for Everton, a young Wayne Rooney lifted his jersey to reveal a shirt underneath daubed with "once a Blue, always a Blue". When he went back on that stance to join Manchester United in 2004, Toffees fans understandably turned their backs on their former goal hero. Rooney has always had a hot reception whenever he has returned to Goodison Park as a United player, and his behaviour has even seen some Red Devils fans turn on him. In 2010, he
refused to sign a new deal at Old Trafford, questioning United's ambition. Many said he was merely holding out for more money and he later backtracked on his decision to sign a new contract. Also in 2010, following an abject England performance against Algeria that prompted fans to boo the team off at full-time, Rooney rounded on a TV camera and bellowed "
Nice to see your own fans boo you", further fracturing his relationship with fans in some quarters. Rooney has always been hot-headed, and a player of which supporters have loved to hate over the years.
