For me Fellaini was just a bit of thug, not as two faced and deceitful as Herrera. Diego Costa was similar too. Also Cristiano Ronaldo- hugely talented player but in his early career he looked like was about to cry every time he didn't get a freekick, then in later career his ego was absolutely off the charts. I remember him scoring a penalty in a Champions League final when the game was already over and ripping his shirt off and posing for the cameras as if his goal was the winner rather than a pretty meaningless bit of extra icing on the cake.

wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted January 20, 2021 The cynic in me says footballers donating to fund good causes is akin to politicians kissing babies. I am not however always cynical. The effort ( rather than money, though it is of course useful) that some players put into community work is commendable. Most players are in fact two people...the on and the off pitch persona. Diego Costa .....a nightmare on the pitch but is reputedly a very kind warm and generous person off it. Ryan Giggs, superb on the pitch but has his own demons off it. In response to the OP though, I never liked Billy Bremner.. ....I would of course concede that he may be a sweetie pie off the pitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted January 20, 2021 Funny that you mention Jonny Giles as I didnt like him either. A few years ago I met him, I ended up being sat next to him at a meeting. He was warm and funny and was more interested in what we were doing with the young players than being the star of the show. He really did just want to help, refused expenses and was first to the bar after the meeting. I left feeling like id wasted 40years disliking someone id only ever seen playing football.....for teams I disliked. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steven Naismith is another one who apparently did a lot for good causes as well as making a public display of his generosity I still don't think he'd get the time of days from most Norwich fans though!
