Being a famous footballer brings certain benefits, but it can also bring a darker reality.

Sports stars frequently find themselves at the receiving end of online trolling, with their social media profiles and online forums bombarded with nasty messages.

The situation became so dire that in 2021, Premier League clubs united for a four-day initiative to combat online abuse.

Liverpool FC even went as far as hiring a therapist to support their players in dealing with trolls.

New research carried out by Ticketgum has revealed the players who are trolled the most.
