Obviously we all know Emile Heskey, the 17th highest goalscorer of the Premier League era and the man who has a successful playing spell with one of the biggest teams the country, is treat like the worst footballer of all time by the modern idiot football fan.
Same thing has been happening with Bendtner recently, listening to talkshite (I know) on the way to the match you'd think they'd just pulled him out of the 8th tier of non league football with people's reaction to him starting over Giroud.
So people are fucking stupid. Any more notable examples?

Shola. Mostly by Newcastle fans themselves mind. Players seem to get worse the shitter the pundit they are, doubt people would give Shearer the type of praise his playing career deserves now.

Probably the reason I defend this lad so much, but the most noticeable for me these days is Jordan Henderson. Affectionately known by a large section of our fans as Hendo the Donkey, the lad can't put a single step wrong without being called a waste of however much we paid for him. Annoys me the most that people ignore whatever good he does and hone in on every mistake.
I've never understood how Michael Owen got away with everything Heskey had to endure. Heskey's nearly 36, still going and has played nearly 800 senior games. Owen pretty much gave up once he stopped starting for good teams and spent the majority of his career being a bench warmer.

Titus Bramble at Wigan and Newcastle, good defender just prone to a huge error every now and then.

Tony Hibbert. He's shit but he's not as shit as everyone says. His slide tackles are a thing of beauty.

Need to have a quick visit to Soccer Memes on facebook to check who the flavour of the day is I'm guessing Torres. Need to get a "The Best of Soccer Memes" thread up here, that place is possibly the worst thing on the internet. fuck me

Who even thinks of that shit?
Eboue always got a lot of stick I think, even though he was a good rightback for Arsenal, just wasnt built for right wing where they tried to play him when sagna came IIRC?

Wow, I thought that GeniusFootball account on Twitter was bad that just takes it to a whole new level.
Adebayor is always being looked down on by most fans/pundits like Pestar said people ignore all the good but will point out everything he does bad. He helped bring the best out of Bale imo and played a massive part it keeping us in the race for 4th with his goals/performances towards the end of the season.

Not in the same mould, but Frimpong for a while after Soccer AM and all that.

Speaking on Frimpong saw a young lad wearing a DENCH t-shirt last year. Why would you think that's a good idea?

Yeah noticed Henderson gets a lot of unfair stick still despite having been one of the better Prem midfielders this season, he's turning into a good player and still potential to become better, his workrate is immense.

Carlton Cole has to be the next Heskey. He scored his first goal of 2013 to equal Mignolet last weekend ffs

Michael Ricketts' one England cap gets shit on more than it should because of the way his career went post-Bolton.
He was more deserving of that cap based on club form than the likes of SKD, Bothroyd, Agbonlahor, Nugent, Rodriguez and Zaha were who've been called up in the last few years yet it's always how did Michael Ricketts ever get called up? Err because he was knocking in goals for fun in the Premier League and putting in match winning performances at Old Trafford.
