Top 5 most hated ex-Royals - Sponsored by Big Foot

[Elm Park Old Boy]

Mark McGee
Steven Hunt
Matt Mills
Greg Halford
Michael Leigterwood

This is just silly.

[ankeny]

Malcolm Swain +5,never has a Reading player copped so much abuse,the crowd wrecked his career with the hate.

[Ian Royal]

Sure, well if that's the case then there really is very little reason to dislike the bloke.

Arrogance? Show me a footballer that isn't arrogant, and I'll show you a patron saint.

Look, if you liked him that's fine. But don't try and tell people who didn't they're wrong when you clearly haven't a clue why they didn't, even after its been explained at length.

Does legiwood count

[JIM]

The great Robin Friday, for dying too early

[Ian Royal]

Does legiwood count

No. For two main reasons.
1) We've never had a player called Legiwood
2) Leigertwood is a current player.

Joey Beuchamp?

That was him, signed for West Sham, did not like the traveling, had to be sold straight away, went to Swindon and the ended up back at the Pox.

For the above reasons, he could be my most hated player of all time, ticks most of the right boxes.

Turned up to his first training session at Swindon in that season's Oxford kit.

Didn't David Unsworth leave Everton for Aston Villa and then request a transfer back 2 days later because he didn't realise how far away Birmingham was? - Both clubs agreed to cancel the transfer.

I understood that was down to his wife kicking off.

He left West Ham, went to Villa and tried to commute to Liverpool. Everton had sold him to West Ham and then bought him back.

Re: Stephen Hunt - he was a great servant to the club during the 106 season, had a decent couple of spells in the side when we were in the PL and was then unplayable for the first half of 08/09. Shame he did that interview on Soccer AM at Xmas 2008 and then spent the 2nd half of the season not trying, otherwise if he'd have continued his form and then got the move away in the Summer, most Reading fans would have had a very different opinion of him.

Hunt was always sh*t. Not a patch on Bobby Convey who he replaced in the team due to injuries.
Yes he worked hard but so did Andy Hughes.....
A hobbit gypsy he was...

Still is he, a Hobbit pixie!

It's not for me to say what players people should or shouldn't "hate". However I do find it a little strange that players who might have got delusions of grandeur but still contributed to the most successful period of our history are despised more that those that walked into the club, took a load of money and contributed absolutely bugger all.

Well hating someone like Martyn Booty or Michael Meaker would be akin to bullying the little kid in the playground.

Kebe. F*cking lazy, tackle avoiding b*stard.

They were shit, they knew it, we knew it, we pitied.

In the case of Stephen Hunt. He was shit, he thought he was great, he stopped trying, he got shitter.

[roberto_11]

Mark McGee - lied to us. we will never know if we would have gone up had he stayed.
Steven Hunt - SHIT, thought he was great. Justified.
Matt Mills - Unsure about him. He's a twat but played ok for us.
Greg Halford - Justified
Mikele Leigterwood - Not justifed. Agreed he's useless but at least he cares.

[the taphouse]

Just one for me Kevin Doyle....for his lack of fight against Birmingham City 3rd May 2009,came on and was the RAT jumping ship.Done oxf*rd all since just a oxf*rd Mercenary RAT Now at QPR need i say more...Kevin Doyle .

[sandman]

Quiet, unassuming guy, who turned up to training every day and unlike other strikers of that time was no trouble at all on or off the pitch. Yeah I can see why people wouldn't like Doyle.
