We all know the obvious one. So I am not going to mention him in this thread.
Who in football terms etc, did you one ‘worship’ but then found yourself almost on the opposite end of that spectrum by the end?
Apparently with Swindon players and fans alike, it was Hoddle. I remember Nicky Summerbee actually calling for Hoddle to be booed by Swindon fans when Hoddle took Chelsea to their ground for the league match.
But there have been situations over the years where players and managers have left and either comments made afterward or even irrational thoughts of the fans he’d just “betrayed" have meant no matter what, he could not return to work for that club.

Michael Johnson at City. The next Colin Bell last seen climbing a lamppost drunk as a lord. What a player.

Carlos Tevez springs to mind.
Loved at United until he wasn't offered a contract then hated because City did offer him a job...
...then hated, well disliked at City for going on strike and making a complete t!t of himself.

Not so much worshipped as such but I think the worst episode of this type for Arsenal, was Adebayor. I actually believe that had Wenger opted for Adebayor instead of choosing to keep RVP. The resulting team morale/unit would have won something where the RVP headed unit failed. Not because Ade was the better striker but because of the far better dynamic and chemistry on and off the pitch.
That whole episode had much bigger repercussions throughout the dressing room and club than was publicly aired (quite a classy some of it actually). It cost us players and damaged relationships with club legends. Massively derailing the low transfer budget team contrsuction job in progress at the time.
By no means one of the league's most controversial but IMO one of the most costly (to the club it happened to) "player bust ups" certainly in PL history.
