23. Dimitri Payet
Payet was one of West Ham’s most exciting players during his time in London. The French star had sublime skills and also scored some amazing goals. He became a fan favorite because he was a class above the rest of the team. But Payet never wanted to leave France and this became a problem.

When Marseille came in with a bid for the international star, Payet went on strike. He burnt bridges with the Hammers fanbase, which was unfortunate because he could have been a club icon. He moved back to the south of France to play for his hometown team (via Squawka).
