Football fans are an opinionated lot - arguably some of the most opinionated people on the planet, let alone in sport. As much as players are idolised and adulated for their silky skills and spectacular goals (as well as their fashion sense and hairstyles in some cases), there is an equal amount of hate dished out to players around the world. It doesn't take much for that hate to surface either. One mistake or one questionable move can turn thousands of people against these individuals in a heartbeat. Whether it's because an error has led to a particular team's defeat or elimination from a competition, whether it's because they've moved to a rival club or whether it's because they've said something that has irked a particular group of fans (whether it be their own club's fans or another club's fans), the hate towards these professional sportsmen is often seriously brimming with pure vitriol and anger. In Tottenham Hotspur Football Club's case, they're no different. Former players have said and done things that have angered fans, while opposing players have similarly said and done things that have angered the Lilywhites faithful and, as a result, they have prompted criticism and hatred from them.
