The 10 biggest football traitors list according to sportsmail
 
 
10. Ashley Cole

For joining Chelsea from Arsenal after 'nearly swerving off the road' at the Gunners' 'piss-take' offer of �55,000-a-week. 'I was so incensed. I was trembling with anger. I couldn't believe what I'd heard.' Neither could we Ashley, neither could we.

9. Wayne Rooney

For claiming 'once a blue, always a blue' before joining Manchester United after just 67 Premier League appearances for Everton.

8. Alan Smith

For joining Manchester United from Leeds just weeks after the Yorkshire club were relegated (the first time). Ouch.

7. Paul Ince

For being photographed in a Manchester United shirt while still a West Ham player. Still receives plenty of stick at Upton Park for that slight misjudgement.

6. Nick Barmby

For being the first Everton player to cross Stanley Park since 1959 after four seasons at Goodison Park.

5. Jermain Defoe

For turning his back on Charlton to sign for West Ham. For handing in a transfer request within 24 hours of West Ham's relegation in 2003. For moving to Tottenham. Oops.

4. Harry Redknapp

For joining Southampton from Portsmouth. For returning to Fratton Park after taking Southampton down to the Championship. For jumping ship again at Portsmouth to join Tottenham - which in turn upset West Ham fans. Nice work Harry.

3. Mo Johnston

For choosing Rangers rather than return to Celtic after a brief spell in France just days after giving a press conference declaring his love for his former club.

2. Luis Figo

For joining the hated Real Madrid from Barcelona in a world record �37m deal. Pesetero.

1. Sol Campbell

For running down his contract at Tottenham and signing for bitter rivals Arsenal on a free transfer. He could have gone anywhere in the world and he'd still have been revered at White Hart Lane. But he went there and will never be forgiven for it.

The article doesn't do justice to the sheer seismic shock that was felt in Scotland when Mo signed for Rangers, not only was he a former Celtic player (and had just been paraded at Parkhead), he was Rangers first Catholic signing. There was ritualistic burning of season tickets outside of Ibrox. The were sections of the Rangers support that were absolutely apoplectic,and many Celtic fans werent happy either, and the rest of Scotland was just dumbstruck.

This was is in the days before the SPL & EPL - so I think Sol Campbells transfer (and Figo to a similar extent) are easily understood purely for the financial payout you can get.

Anyway - I'd argue that a) The Old Firm rivalry is a hell of a lot bigger than Spurs v Arse and b) Luis Figo isn't even Spanish - so even less likely to be motivated by emotional allegiance.

Mo Johnstone was a Celtic fan and a Celtic hero - it was just such an unbelievable thing for him to do - sign for Rangers

When Hibs, went up, to win the Scottish Cup - I wisnae there - furfuxake!

I thought Alan Smith moved on as Leeds were extremely bankrupt and could do with selling what they could.

He could be there next season

Ginger, I remember that happening and you sure are correct, Celtic V Rangers rivalry is IMHO the most intense of the lot. religeon, football, divided city, it has it all. The only time is calmed down for a few minutes was when poor young Billy Thomson took that knock to the head and subsequently died back in the early 30's (?)

Remember it well.

Never has one man come so close to causing religious war.

Paul Ince, little Paul Ince (Defoe) and fat Paul Ince (Lampard) are all grade A c**ts.
 
Sorry, what was this thread about?  Oh yeah, they are all traitors as well.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Double Double Double

And the c**ts from the lane

As Sol Campbell has won the double

That's all i have to add to this thread.

Got that DVD "great footballing rivalries" - think they screened the series on espn a while back too?
 
It's awesome. The old firm, north london derby and el classico are all covered, but when it comes to intensity they were all far behind the best 3 that i saw - definitely galatasaray/fenerbahce, olympiakos/panathanaikos and dinamo zagreb/hadjuk split. Those three derbies kick some serious ass.

I went to the River Plate v Boca Juniors match in the 2006 Clausura season. Hands down best sports match I've ever been to. Phenomenal.

How old is Leggy?  Is he 12 or 72?

To be fair, we all knew smudger, amongst others, was going to have to leave... we could never have afforded their wages in the Championship, and it would have been detrimentle to their careers... for me, Rio's defection a few years earlier to the Scum stung a whole lot more, whilst we were still in the right half of the right table... oh happy days so long ago 
And don't get me started on Joe Jordan... he set the precedent for the both of them. Or Seagulls Cantona. Leeds_Chris2009-05-31 20:12:51

You can't leave out Partizan vs Red Star. That one got so ugly in the 90's it spread into the civil war

I saw that DVD in the Ware Whare today and it was selling for $39.95. So I bought Volume 1 of 500 Premiership Goals for $6.99. 100 goals in 45 minutes! Some damn good ones. Surprisingly QPR featured in 3 of them and they were all goals against Ipswich!!
