Daftar 15 Pengkhianat Terbesar Dalam Sejarah SepakBola
15. Fernando Torres
http://fernandotorres.footballfantalk.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/37/files/chelsea-0-1-liverpool-feb-6th-2011/fernandotorreschelseavliverpoolpremierdfe1p9x4ngdl .jpg
Fernando Torres didn't move to either of Liverpool's biggest rivals, Everton or Manchester United, but he did hurt his legacy at Liverpool by moving to Chelsea in the middle of a poor season for the Reds.
He fetched Liverpool a massive transfer fee of �50 million, but the majority of that was poorly reinvested in the thus-far ineffective Andrew Carroll.
Now, Torres continues to struggle greatly to put the ball in the back of the net. Had he stayed at Liverpool, he would've likely had the service of Luis Suarez to feed off of and would've found the back of the net with much more regularity and less difficulty.
Recently, Torres admitted that life in Liverpool was much more comfortable than life in London with Chelsea currently is.
14. Michael Owen

Unlike Torres, Michael Owen did make the forbidden move to his ex-team's arch-rivals; after establishing himself as a Liverpool legend in the late 90s and early 00s, Owen moved from Newcastle to Manchester United in 2009, turning nearly every Liverpool fan against their former golden boy.
It's hard to label the move as being truly "traitorous," though; following the end of his spell with Newcastle United, Owen was a shadow of his former self and had so few suitors that his agent felt compelled to produce a 34-page brochure to woo clubs into signing the striker.
The strategy worked, and Owen has been a successful backup and cup striker for Manchester United ever since. He has also had his memorable moments, such as his winning goal in the Manchester derby in the 2009-10 EPL season.
13. Ian Wright
http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/001/554/876/1917603_display_image.jpg?1321298721
Before Ian Wright went on to become an Arsenal legend, he was a Crystal Palace striker, and a very successful one at that. In six seasons with the club, Wright scored a whopping 100 goals in 254 games for a ratio of a goal for every 2.5 games.
Unlike most of the other guys on this list, it wasn't Wright's move away from Crystal Palace that made him a traitor; Palace were a small club in 1991, while Arsenal were winning trophies.
What made Wright a traitor was that in his first season with Arsenal, having just left Palace earlier that season, Wright celebrated the goal which relegated Crystal Palace from the First Division. Pretty classless if you ask me.
12. Carlos Tevez
http://do-while.com/img/fun/socer-vs-football/socer-vs-football19.jpg
I feel like it's getting to the point where Carlos Tevez is getting mentioned on every other article of mine in some form or another.
The main reason that Carlos Tevez makes this list is that he chose to leave Manchester United for city rivals Manchester City, even after the large transfer fee his owners wanted (�25.5 million) was met.
But that alone isn't what makes Carlos Tevez a traitor. His behavior earlier in his career with Corinthians was also traitorous; in order to force a move abroad, Tevez refused to play for Corinthians, and this forced the Brazilian club to put him on the transfer market, with him eventually moving to West Ham.
Now at Manchester City, Carlos Tevez's traitorous nature is in full view once again; whatever the truth may be about his bench incident against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, he has fully burnt the bridges of reconciliation even after they were extended to him by Roberto Mancini.
Currently, he is hiding out in Argentina as the charges against him continue to grow and grow.
11. Luis Enrique
http://sin.stb.s-msn.com/i/25/3DE69721818995541E8F4C93E3F1B5.jpg
What many don't know about Luis Enrique, however, is that he spent the majority of his early career with Real Madrid before switching to Barcelona following the expiration of his contract.
The reason that not as much hype is attached to Luis Enrique's move as is attached to a couple of other players who made the jump between the two Spanish giants is that, unlike the other two guys to be mentioned later on this list who switched between Barca and Real, Luis Enrique saw out his contract with Real prior to moving to Barcelona, and more importantly, he was never a crucial member of the team at Real Madrid.
He scored only 18 goals in all his time with Real Madrid, and the fact that the team let his contract expire ment that Real didn't really show any desire to hold onto him.
Luis Enrique would make them pay for this, as he went on to become a prolific goalscorer with Barcelona, scoring 109 goals in 300 appearances with the club, and winning two La Liga trophies, two Copa Del Reys, one Supercopa Espana, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and one UEFA Super Cup.
10. Bernd Schuster
http://www.la-redo.net/wp-contentold/uploadsold/2007/07/bernds.jpg
After playing for Barcelona for eight seasons and playing an integral role in the team throughout his time at Barcelona, Schuster made the jump in arguably the biggest rivalry in football history, switching to Real Madrid.
He wasn't quite as effective at Real Madrid as he was at Barcelona, and to add even more controversy to already fairly controversial career, Schuster decided to make the jump across another Spanish rivalry, moving to Atletico Madrid at the age of 30.
9. Kenny Miller
http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2008/08/31/rangers460.jpg
If there's one rivalry that can rival the intensity of El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, it's the Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic. Given the rich political history behind the rivalry, most players know that that is one rivalry you do not want to mess with.
And yet, it seems Kenny Miller missed that memo, as he crossed between the two teams not once, but twice, switching from Rangers to Celtic and back to Rangers.
In the end, Rangers fans hardly cared about his switch to "the dark side," as Kenny Miller's performances for Rangers were spectacular and helped the team to multiple league titles.
Celtic fans may have been a bit more displeased with Miller, though, as he was fairly poor in the one season spent with them, but Celtic did still manage to win both the league and the cup in his single season with the club.
8. William Gallas
http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01767/gallas_get_1767381b.jpg
Some might say that Gallas' inclusion on this list is unfair, as he only moved from Chelsea to Arsenal as part of the deal that brought Ashley Cole to Chelsea.
However, those who say this forget that Gallas left Chelsea on acrimonious terms, with the club releasing a scathing statement in which they accused Gallas of threatening to score own goals if he was not sold by the team.
To make matters worse, Gallas decided to move to Tottenham at the end of his time with Arsenal, once again infuriating the fans of the team he left.
What made matters even worse was that Arsenal wanted to retain him, but his contract demands were simply too high to be accomodated in the club's wage structure.

7. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/17000000/Z-Ibrahimovic-Inter-Milan-zlatan-ibrahimovic-17008678-594-393.jpg
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has never been known for his loyalty.
Internationally, Ibrahimovic has temporarily retired from the national team a couple of times, once because he disagreed with the a punishment he received for going out two nights before a match against Liechtenstein, and another because he felt, following Sweden's failure to qualify for the 2010 World Cup, that the remainder of Sweden's international games until after the 2010 World Cup would be "meaningless."
But Ibrahimovic's lack of loyalty internationally pales to his lack of loyalty domestically.
After Juventus were stripped of their two Scudetti in the Calciopoli scandal, not only did Zlatan Ibrahimovic (and his agent) threaten to pursue legal action to get himself out of his contract, but he also moved to Inter Milan, Juventus' biggest rival in Serie A and enemy in the Calciopoli trials.
Not content with having played for both sides in one of the biggest rivalries in Serie A, Ibrahimovic decided he wanted to play for both sides of THE biggest rivalry in Italy, the Milan rivalry.
Following his unhappy spell with Barcelona, Ibrahimovic moved to AC Milan, where he returned to his role of banging goals on a regular basis and winning Serie A titles in each and every year he's spent in Serie A.
