5. Rio Ferdinand

We are in a day and age where players are forbidden from having emotions..and we wonder why the distance between players & fans is widening.

Really feel for Moyes, can't argue with sacking but I think players let him down & the club handled it badly. Who's next? #ToughJob

You’ll be long enough retired lad; give the Europeans a bash; no reason why he couldn’t medal

@Jerry Sharma: He’s not stupid. He’ll know himself how he feels. 8th in the world is no mean feat. Once athletes are still very competitive and relevant at the top level I think they would ultimately always regret quitting too early…
