Top 5 most hated players in EPL, including Manchester United and Ex-Arsenal stars

4. Ashley Cole

Former Arsenal player Ashley Cole was once considered the best left-back in the world. When he moved to Chelsea in 2006, he doubled his money, while his reputation took a nosedive. Considered one of the game’s greatest whingers, public opinion of Cole hit an all-time low after it emerged that he’d cheated on his wife Cheryl Cole several times. The now infamous excerpt from Ashley Cole’s autobiography in which he admits he “almost crashed [his] car” after being told Arsenal would only be paying him £55,000 per week. The revelation earned him the tag “Cashley” Cole.
