There's loads of wind up merchants but one who stands out for me cos he was a completer t...er and a disgrace is Rodney Marsh/ That's right the one who broke Tom McAllister's leg. McAllister was the best GK that Utd could have had. Anyone standing on the Kop that day would have heard the crack.

E(p)ric(k) Cantona: kneed Charlie Hartfield in the balls and got Charlie sent off for his reaction. Then came that goal and his arrogant celebration.

Cantona is exempt for refusing to play for them lot and showing the he could single handedly win league titles, which they definitely would have had he joined them!! I loved the chest puffing celebration, it was like something out of an old boys comic and thoroughly appropriate for such a spectacular strike

Cannot believe no one mentioned Alan Ball. His sending off at BDTBL in October 1972 brought out one of the biggest cheer ever heard at the Lane (I was wearing hearing aids then!)

I remember Ball returning as a manager but I can't remember who for. They were down at the bottom of the table anyway and the Blades fans were chanting "Alan Ball - out" but with the "out" delivered in that squeaky high pitched voice of his. Tickled me at the time.
 
Alan Shearer in the cup semi at Old Trafford. Spent he entire time bitching to the ref. I know he spent his entire career doing that, but seeing it with my own eyes really wound me up.

Steven Gerrard for doing a similar thing in the premiership year and compounding it with the dives. There's a good video on youtube of him doing various dives interspersed with anti-diving quotes from the boy himself (I couldn't bring myself to call him a man..)
 
Kevin Muscat always seemed to assault one of our players with a potential career ending tackle.

Agreed on Mark Ward too.

I always wished we'd kept and developed Shaun Derry better, described as the best midfielder in the lower leagues by Big Sam who had him at Notts County, played largely at full back or centre half by us, naturally. Became a pantomime hatchet man at various clubs, notably Portsmouth, and got sent off a couple of times against us. Latterly became a very good steady but hard midfielder when his temper cooled or his legs went which ever came first.
 
Carl Shutt. Still remember him off in front of the Kop after he sank us to the third division on Colin Morris' last match (where he scored a pearler).

David Healey, just hated the monobrowed spaffstain.

Marco Giabiadini, always seemed to score against us.

And the usuals like Tarrico, Ainsworth blah, blah.

Special praise reserved for Kevin Pressman, brilliant goalkeeper in spite of who he played for with a great sense of humour. Met him once and he was a thoroughly decent bloke who talked about united and that lot all evening and was actually full of praise for us at the time.
 
Oh, I forgot John Terry. He refereed our last Premiership game with Chelsea at the Lane. In fact he probably awarded us the pen knowing that Webber would take it….

Mel "Gypo" Sterland. Scored a 40 yard belter in front of the kop for dirty Leeds and milked it.

He was even crap in When Saturday Comes.

The twat he is, he was a 15 yr old attender at Waltheof and he was in Sheffield boys team. A bully, he was messing about with the ball in the playground, I was just 12 and the ugly cunt kicked me in the stomach. A subsequent career taking in Weds leeds and fucking rangers demonstrates what a total cunt he is
 
Paul Mcveigh for Norwich posing and jesturing to us after scoring in front of the Kop was another wind up merchant...Can't remember the year.
 
Paul McVeigh ..

Once scored for Norwich in front of the Kop and celebrated like a madman, gesticulating to the Blades fans like he'd proved some sort of that point. Can't remember there ever being any previous between him & the Blades so couldn't understand why he pranced about like he did. Never liked him after that.

EDIT: aah beat me to it

Strachan. Xmas game, finished 2-2, he scored and sat on the advertising hordings doing a strongman impersonation

That wasnt the boxing day 2 2 . That was the 2 0 win for the scummers of leeds early in the next season. Cunt, first class he is.

sorry eric definitely is called cuntona and for good reason, he is a total arsehole.
 
Not particularly infuriating but quite amusing at the time was when we played Burscough in the FA Cup about 1980/81...We applauded them off for making a good game of it being a non league team,but one player wasn't having it and started flicking the V's at us on the Kop as they were walking off.

Nah m8:
I would say he was one of the best that I've seen playing in UK during my lifetime.

I knows he was a bit phsyco but it added to the package.

The dust up with Charlie H was twatish, but don't worry about Charlie - he could look after himself alreight.
 
One I couldn't abide (& shamefully I can't really say why!) was Norah Batty.
He use to put himself about, get in peoples faces & then hide behind the bigger boys when the 5h1t hit the fan.

Twat.
 
Pat Jennings but not in a bad way, he just saved everything we could throw at him usually.

Kevin Ball of Sunderland always grabbed my shit.

Never saw him kick a football, only our players.

Remember Ball getting sent off for Burnley after the "red mist" descended for the umpteenth time. Complete knobhead that bloke. I think it was the same game where Ternent accused Warnock of spying on his half-time team talk.

Paul Peschisolido, because he always bloody scored against us!

Gareth Ainsworth, say no more.

Nwankbag Kanu, because of Highburygate. The goal that shouldn't have been. If Arsenal had have just stood back and let us score from our kick-off, all that silly replay bollocks would have been unnecessary.

Fatboy Hirst smoking that imaginary fag at the semi in 93.

Pressman - Fat twat only had two good games a season when we were in the same division.

With you here, except the pie man Grudging respect.
 
The dirtiest ever team seen at the Lane Hull Shity, when both teams were pushing for promotion.
Since that game, the saying that Cheats never prosper has had a very empty ring to it.
 
There are people misunderstanding my choice of Kevin Pressman.
I didn't say I hated him and also respected the way he played against us but it was infuriating to see him play like a wankbag in every other game. The OP asked for players that have infuriated you for some reason.
Pressman infuriated me because when he played against us he played like he'd had a gallon of Paddy's cough medicine

Mrs BoSS went with me to that game - she doesn't really follow football, but is incredibly knowledgeable about it, even she was up with Blades fans singing, "Stand up, if you hate Shearer." :)

Just to say he kicked a ball away from his kickabout, way down the yard, I walked past and the tit booted me full force in the stomach
