John Terry
There are more reasons for the hatred that he gets than there is hair on my head. Be it courting controversies with his teammates(Read: Wayne Bridge) or supposedly using a racial slur against Anton Ferdinand or wearing a full kit to celebrate Chelsea’s Champions League glory despite being suspended for that game, he just loves giving people a reason to loathe him.
As a defender, however, he has already gone down as one of Premier League’s best ever. Despite being in his mid-30s, he still starts games for Chelsea at regular intervals. In fact, it was his artistic defensive performances that helped Chelsea reached the final of the Champions League in 2012—which they ultimately won.
And even though he is a world class player and Chelsea’s greatest ever defender, he remains the most hated Chelsea player for his off-the-pitch endeavors.
