Favourite players from opposition teams?

[Liam]

Irrelevant of the sport, there are generally players that, although not playing for your team, you have a soft spot for. So yeah, who are they?

I'll list mine in a little bit, can't be bothered at the moment >_>

Jimmy Bullard must be the first name on anyone's list for football, the guy's hilarious, plus he's a good player too. Paul Green, who played for Rovers for nearly a decade, left to go play for divisional rivals Derby, but I'm still a big fan and like to see him doing well.

Marouane Fellaini from Everton is also awesome, for a combination of hair and skill.

Lance Armstrong & George Hincapie are always on teams I don't like in cycling, but I'm still quite a fan of them both.

Half the Aston Villa squad, really.

[Blue Rosler]

Yossi Benayoun. Emanuel Pogatetz. Brad Friedel.

[Bigal]

Joe Cole.

[Pesci]

Berbatov was the big one until he went to Man United. Now he's dead to me. I don't think Danny Murphy counts because he played for Liverpool for years, but I love him nonetheless. Hangeland is awesome. Essien is awesome. And ugh... I hate Everton but I've always had a soft spot for Tim Cahill. I won't deny that I've always loved Heskey, regardless of his shit performances for us. Oh and Vidic is great enough to find his way through my hate of all things Man United.

[EddieG]

Nani, Anderson and the Da Silva bros

[METALMAN]

One from each other team:

Aberdeen - Mark Kerr

Dundee United - Lee Wilkie

Falkirk - Russell Latapy

Hamilton - Kenny Deuchar

Hearts - Bruno Aguiar

Hibernian - Fabián Yantorno

Inverness - Ross Tokely

Motherwell - David Clarkson

Rangers - Steven Naismith I suppose. Our former player at Rangers that didn't turn out to be a complete twat.

St. Mirren - Craig Dargo

[Dynamite]

I'm a big fan of a lot of the Everton team. Arteta, Cahill and Fellaini in particular (I'm not counting the players who used to play for us.)

Essien and Sagna are the only ones from the 'Big 4' that I like. Elano would be a favourite if he didn't play for City. O'Hara and Huddlestone (he's a beast up-close) are kind of favourites too.

I won't deny that I've always loved Heskey, regardless of his shit performances for us.

Then how come you talked me out of signing him in FM07

Because he's probably shit on the game. I'm still amazed you remember these little conversations, I have no recollection of this.
