#3 Luis Suarez
A man who scores goals galore, creates chances for his teammates and works hard defensively should be loved by football fans around the world. Luis Suarez is anything but that. Suarez’s list of indiscretions began in Uruguay’s World Cup clash against Ghana in 2010. Some dubbed it ‘Hand of God 2.0’, as Suarez deliberately handballed on the goal line during the final minutes of the game.
Just as memories were starting to fade, and Suarez was beginning to be looked at in a different light, he bit PSV’s Otman Bakkal, thrusting himself back into the ‘most hated’ list yet again. The acts of cannibalism didn’t stop there, as he sunk his teeth into Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic, as well as Italy’s Georgio Chiellini, as Luis Suarez cemented his place as pantomime villain as opposed to all that is good and great about football.
He may be the world’s best centre-forward, but Luis Suarez will never be the most loved footballer in the world. Quite the contrary, in fact.
